HuB and HuD repress telomerase activity by dissociating HuR from TERC.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
The ubiquitous RNA-binding protein HuR (ELAVL1) promotes telomerase activity by associating with the telomerase noncoding RNA TERC. However, the role of the neural-specific members HuB, HuC, and HuD (ELAVL2-4) in telomerase activity is unknown. Here, we report that HuB and HuD, but not HuC, repress telomerase activity in human neuroblastoma cells. By associating with AU-rich sequences in TERC, HuB and HuD repressed the assembly of the TERT-TERC core complex. Furthermore, HuB and HuD competed with HuR for binding to TERC and antagonized the function of HuR that was previously shown to enhance telomerase activity to promote cell growth. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism controlling telomerase activity in human neuroblastoma cells that involves a competition between HuR and the related, neural-specific proteins HuB and HuD.
