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

RNA-binding proteins are a critical group of multifunctional proteins that precisely regulate all aspects of gene expression, from alternative splicing to mRNA trafficking, stability, and translation. Converging evidence highlights aberrant RNA metabolism as a common pathogenic mechanism in several neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases. However, dysregulation of disease-linked RNA-binding proteins results in widespread, often tissue-specific and/or pleiotropic effects on the transcriptome, making it challenging to determine the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms that contribute to disease pathogenesis. Understanding how splicing misregulation as well as alterations of mRNA stability and localization impact the activity and function of neuronal proteins is fundamental to addressing neurodevelopmental defects and synaptic dysfunction in disease. Here we highlight recent exciting studies that use high-throughput transcriptomic analysis and advanced genetic, cell biological, and imaging approaches to dissect the role of disease-linked RNA-binding proteins on different RNA processing steps. We focus specifically on efforts to elucidate the functional consequences of aberrant RNA processing on neuronal morphology, synaptic activity and plasticity in development and disease. We also consider new areas of investigation that will elucidate the molecular mechanisms RNA-binding proteins use to achieve spatiotemporal control of gene expression for neuronal homeostasis and plasticity.
