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

NAT10 is an essential enzyme that catalyzes N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) in eukaryotic transfer RNA and 18S ribosomal RNA. Recent studies suggested that rRNA acetylation is dependent on SNORD13, a box C/D small nucleolar RNA predicted to base-pair with 18S rRNA via two antisense elements. However, the selectivity of SNORD13-dependent cytidine acetylation and its relationship to NAT10's essential function remain to be defined. Here, we demonstrate that SNORD13 is required for acetylation of a single cytidine of human and zebrafish 18S rRNA. In-depth characterization revealed that SNORD13-dependent ac4C is dispensable for human cell growth, ribosome biogenesis, translation and development. This loss of function analysis inspired a cross-evolutionary survey of the eukaryotic rRNA acetylation 'machinery' that led to the characterization of many novel metazoan SNORD13 genes. This includes an atypical SNORD13-like RNA in Drosophila melanogaster which guides ac4C to 18S rRNA helix 45 despite lacking one of the two rRNA antisense elements. Finally, we discover that Caenorhabditis elegans 18S rRNA is not acetylated despite the presence of an essential NAT10 homolog. Our findings shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying SNORD13-mediated rRNA acetylation across eukaryotic evolution and raise new questions regarding the biological and evolutionary relevance of this highly conserved rRNA modification.
