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 epitranscriptome has emerged as a new fundamental layer of control of gene expression. Nevertheless, the determination of the transcriptome-wide occupancy and function of RNA modifications remains challenging. Here we have developed Rho-seq, an integrated pipeline detecting a range of modifications through differential modification-dependent rhodamine labeling. Using Rho-seq, we confirm that the reduction of uridine to dihydrouridine (D) by the Dus reductase enzymes targets tRNAs in E. coli and fission yeast. We find that the D modification is also present on fission yeast mRNAs, particularly those encoding cytoskeleton-related proteins, which is supported by large-scale proteome analyses and ribosome profiling. We show that the α-tubulin encoding mRNA nda2 undergoes Dus3-dependent dihydrouridylation, which affects its translation. The absence of the modification on nda2 mRNA strongly impacts meiotic chromosome segregation, resulting in low gamete viability. Applying Rho-seq to human cells revealed that tubulin mRNA dihydrouridylation is evolutionarily conserved.
