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

The telomere repeats containing RNA (TERRA) is transcribed from the C-rich strand of telomere DNA and comprises of UUAGGG nucleotides repeats in humans. The TERRA RNA repeats can exist in single stranded, RNA-DNA hybrid and G-quadruplex forms in the cell. Interaction of TERRA RNA with hnRNPA1 has been proposed to play critical roles in maintenance of telomere DNA. hnRNPA1 contains an N-terminal UP1 domain followed by an RGG-box containing C-terminal region. RGG-motifs are emerging as key protein motifs that recognize the higher order nucleic acid structures as well as are known to promote liquid-liquid phase separation of proteins. In this study, we have shown that the RGG-box of hnRNPA1 specifically recognizes the TERRA RNA G-quadruplexes that have loops in their topology, whereas it does not interact with the single-stranded RNA. Our results show that the N-terminal UP1 domain in the presence of the RGG-box destabilizes the loop containing TERRA RNA G-quadruplex efficiently compared to the RNA G-quadruplex that lacks loops, suggesting that unfolding of G-quadruplex structures by UP1 is structure dependent. Furthermore, we have compared the telomere DNA and TERRA RNA G-quadruplex binding by the RGG-box of hnRNPA1 and discussed its implications in telomere DNA maintenance.
