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

Processing of the RNA polymerase I pre-rRNA transcript into the mature 18S, 5.8S, and 25S rRNAs requires removing the "spacer" sequences. The canonical pathway for the removal of the ITS1 spacer involves cleavages at the 3' end of 18S rRNA and at two sites inside ITS1. The process can generate either a long or a short 5.8S rRNA that differs in the number of ITS1 nucleotides retained at the 5.8S 5' end. Here we document a novel pathway to the long 5.8S, which bypasses cleavage within ITS1. Instead, the entire ITS1 is degraded from its 5' end by exonuclease Xrn1. Mutations in RNase MRP increase the accumulation of long relative to short 5.8S rRNA. Traditionally this is attributed to a decreased rate of RNase MRP cleavage at its target in ITS1, called A3. However, results from this work show that the MRP-induced switch between long and short 5.8S rRNA formation occurs even when the A3 site is deleted. Based on this and our published data, we propose that the link between RNase MRP and 5.8S 5' end formation involves RNase MRP cleavage at unknown sites elsewhere in pre-rRNA or in RNA molecules other than pre-rRNA.
