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

U2AF1 (U2AF35) is the small subunit of the U2 auxiliary factor (U2AF) that constitutes the U2 snRNP (small nuclear ribonucleoproteins) of the spliceosome. Here, we examined the function of U2AF1 in human erythropoiesis. First, we examined the expression of U2AF1 during in vitro human erythropoiesis and showed that U2AF1 was highly expressed in the erythroid progenitor burst-forming-unit erythroid (BFU-E) cell stage. A colony assay revealed that U2AF1 knockdown cells failed to form BFU-E and colony-forming-unit erythroid (CFU-E) colonies. Our results further showed that knockdown of U2AF1 significantly inhibited cell growth and induced apoptosis in erythropoiesis. Additionally, knockdown of U2AF1 also delayed terminal erythroid differentiation. To explore the molecular basis of the impaired function of erythroid development, RNA-seq was performed and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis results showed that several biological pathways, including the p53 signalling pathway, MAPK signalling pathway and haematopoietic cell lineage, were involved, with the p53 signalling pathway showing the greatest involvement. Western blot analysis revealed an increase in the protein levels of downstream targets of p53 following U2AF1 knockdown. The data further showed that depletion of U2AF1 altered alternatively spliced apoptosis-associated gene transcripts in CFU-E cells. Our findings elucidate the role of U2AF1 in human erythropoiesis and reveal the underlying mechanisms.
