1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Most mitochondrial mRNAs in kinetoplastids require extensive uridine insertion/deletion editing to generate translatable open reading frames. Editing is specified by trans-acting gRNAs and involves a complex machinery including basal and accessory factors. Here, we utilize high-throughput sequencing to analyze editing progression in two minimally edited mRNAs that provide a simplified system due their requiring only two gRNAs each for complete editing. We show that CYb and MURF2 mRNAs exhibit barriers to editing progression that differ from those previously identified for pan-edited mRNAs, primarily at initial gRNA usage and gRNA exchange. We demonstrate that mis-edited junctions arise through multiple pathways including mis-alignment of cognate gRNA, incorrect and sometimes promiscuous gRNA utilization and inefficient gRNA anchoring. We then examined the roles of accessory factors RBP16 and MRP1/2 in maintaining edited CYb and MURF2 populations. RBP16 is essential for initiation of CYb and MURF2 editing, as well as MURF2 editing progression. In contrast, MRP1/2 stabilizes both edited mRNA populations, while further promoting progression of MURF2 mRNA editing. We also analyzed the effects of RNA Editing Substrate Binding Complex components, TbRGG2 and GAP1, and show that both proteins modestly impact progression of editing on minimally edited mRNAs, suggesting a novel function for GAP1.
