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

Ro60, also known as SS-A or TROVE2, is an evolutionarily conserved RNA-binding protein that is found in most animal cells, approximately 5% of sequenced prokaryotic genomes and some archaea. Ro60 is present in cells as both a free protein and as a component of a ribonucleoprotein complex, where its best-known partners are members of a class of noncoding RNAs called Y RNAs. Structural and biochemical analyses have revealed that Ro60 is a ring-shaped protein that binds Y RNAs on its outer surface. In addition to Y RNAs, Ro60 binds misfolded and aberrant noncoding RNAs in some animal cell nuclei. Although the fate of these defective Ro60-bound noncoding RNAs in animal cells is not well-defined, a bacterial Ro60 ortholog functions with 3' to 5' exoribonucleases to assist structured RNA degradation. Studies of Y RNAs have revealed that these RNAs regulate the subcellular localization of Ro60, tether Ro60 to effector proteins and regulate the access of other RNAs to its central cavity. As both mammalian cells and bacteria lacking Ro60 are sensitized to ultraviolet irradiation, Ro60 function may be important during exposure to some environmental stressors. Here we summarize the current knowledge regarding the functions of Ro60 and Y RNAs in animal cells and bacteria. Because the Ro60 RNP is a clinically important target of autoantibodies in patients with rheumatic diseases such as Sjogren's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, and neonatal lupus, we also discuss potential roles for Ro60 RNPs in the initiation and pathogenesis of systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease.
