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

backgroundC-to-U RNA editing is prevalent in the mitochondrial and chloroplast genes in plants. The biological functions of a fraction of C-to-U editing sites are continuously discovered by case studies. However, at genome-wide level, the cis and trans determinants affecting the occurrence or editing levels of these C-to-U events are relatively less studied. What is known is that the PPR (pentatricopeptide repeat) proteins are the main trans-regulatory elements responsible for the C-to-U conversion, but other determinants especially the cis-regulatory elements remain largely uninvestigated.

resultsBy analyzing the transcriptome and translatome data in Arabidopsis thaliana roots and shoots, combined with RNA-seq data from hybrids of Arabidopsis thaliana and Arabidopsis lyrata, we perform genome-wide investigation on the cis elements and trans-regulatory elements that potentially affect C-to-U editing events. An upstream guanosine or double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) regions are unfavorable for editing events. Meanwhile, many genes including the transcription factors may indirectly play regulatory roles in trans.

conclusionsThe 5-prime thymidine facilitates editing and dsRNA structures prevent editing in cis. Many transcription factors affect editing in trans. Although the detailed molecular mechanisms underlying the cis and trans regulation remain to be experimentally verified, our findings provide novel aspects in studying the botanical C-to-U RNA editing events.
