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

SINEUPs are long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) that contain a SINE element, and which up-regulate the translation of target mRNA. They have been studied in a wide range of applications, as both biological and therapeutic tools, although the underpinning molecular mechanism is unclear. Here, we focused on the sub-cellular distribution of target mRNAs and SINEUP RNAs, performing co-transfection of expression vectors for these transcripts into human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293T/17), to investigate the network of translational regulation. The results showed that co-localization of target mRNAs and SINEUP RNAs in the cytoplasm was a key phenomenon. We identified PTBP1 and HNRNPK as essential RNA binding proteins. These proteins contributed to SINEUP RNA sub-cellular distribution and to assembly of translational initiation complexes, leading to enhanced target mRNA translation. These findings will promote a better understanding of the mechanisms employed by regulatory RNAs implicated in efficient protein translation.
