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

Mammalian body temperature oscillates with the time of the day and is altered in diverse pathological conditions. We recently identified a body temperature-sensitive thermometer-like kinase, which alters SR protein phosphorylation and thereby globally controls alternative splicing (AS). AS can generate unproductive variants which are recognized and degraded by diverse mRNA decay pathways-including nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). Here we show extensive coupling of body temperature-controlled AS to mRNA decay, leading to global control of temperature-dependent gene expression (GE). Temperature-controlled, decay-inducing splicing events are evolutionarily conserved and pervasively found within RNA-binding proteins, including most SR proteins. AS-coupled poison exon inclusion is essential for rhythmic GE of SR proteins and has a global role in establishing temperature-dependent rhythmic GE profiles, both in mammals under circadian body temperature cycles and in plants in response to ambient temperature changes. Together, these data identify body temperature-driven AS-coupled mRNA decay as an evolutionary ancient, core clock-independent mechanism to generate rhythmic GE.
