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

The mammalian cell nucleus is a highly organized organelle that contains membrane-less structures referred to as nuclear bodies (NBs). Some NBs carry specific RNA types that play architectural roles in their formation. Here, we show two types of RNase-sensitive DBC1-containing NBs, DBC1 nuclear body (DNB) in HCT116 cells and Sam68 nuclear body (SNB) in HeLa cells, that exhibit phase-separated features and are constructed using RNA polymerase I or II transcripts in a cell type-specific manner. We identified additional protein components present in DNB by immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry, some of which (DBC1 and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L [HNRNPL]) are required for DNB formation. The rescue experiment using the truncated HNRNPL mutants revealed that two RNA-binding domains and intrinsically disordered regions of HNRNPL play significant roles in DNB formation. All these domains of HNRNPL promote in vitro droplet formation, suggesting the need for multivalent interactions between HNRNPL and RNA as well as proteins in DNB formation.
