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

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are vastly transcribed and extensively studied but lncRNAs overlapping with the sense orientation of mRNA have been poorly studied. We analyzed the lncRNA DAPALR overlapping with the 5´ UTR of the Doublesex1 (Dsx1), the male determining gene in Daphnia magna. By affinity purification, we identified an RNA binding protein, Shep as a DAPALR binding protein. Shep also binds to Dsx1 5´ UTR by recognizing the overlapping sequence and suppresses translation of the mRNA. In vitro and in vivo analyses indicated that DAPALR increased Dsx1 translation efficiency by sequestration of Shep. This regulation was impaired when the Shep binding site in DAPALR was deleted. These results suggest that Shep suppresses the unintentional translation of Dsx1 by setting a threshold; and when the sense lncRNA DAPALR is expressed, DAPALR cancels the suppression caused by Shep. This mechanism may be important to show dimorphic gene expressions such as sex determination and it may account for the binary expression in various developmental processes.
