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

Gene expression is determined by a balance between RNA synthesis and RNA degradation. To elucidate the underlying regulatory mechanisms and principles of this, simultaneous measurements of RNA synthesis and degradation are required. Here, we report the development of "Dyrec-seq," which uses 4-thiouridine and 5-bromouridine to simultaneously quantify RNA synthesis and degradation rates. Dyrec-seq enabled the quantification of RNA synthesis and degradation rates of 4702 genes in HeLa cells. Functional enrichment analysis showed that the RNA synthesis and degradation rates of genes are actually determined by the genes' biological functions. A comparison of theoretical and experimental analyses revealed that the amount of RNA is determined by the ratio of RNA synthesis to degradation rates, whereas the rapidity of responses to external stimuli is determined only by the degradation rate. This study emphasizes that not only RNA synthesis but also RNA degradation is important in shaping gene expression patterns.
