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

During spliceosome assembly, interactions that bring the 5' and 3' ends of an intron in proximity are critical for the production of mature mRNA. Here, we report synergistic roles for the stem-loops 3 (SL3) and 4 (SL4) of the human U1 small nuclear RNA (snRNA) in maintaining the optimal U1 snRNP function, and formation of cross-intron contact with the U2 snRNP. We find that SL3 and SL4 bind distinct spliceosomal proteins and combining a U1 snRNA activity assay with siRNA-mediated knockdown, we demonstrate that SL3 and SL4 act through the RNA helicase UAP56 and the U2 protein SF3A1, respectively.
