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 bodies (P-bodies) are ribonucleoprotein granules that contain mRNAs, RNA-binding proteins and effectors of mRNA turnover. While P-bodies have been reported to contain translationally repressed mRNAs, a causative role for P-bodies in regulating mRNA decay has yet to be established. Enhancer of decapping protein 4 (EDC4) is a core P-body component that interacts with multiple mRNA decay factors, including the mRNA decapping (DCP2) and decay (XRN1) enzymes. EDC4 also associates with the RNA endonuclease MARF1, an interaction that antagonizes the decay of MARF1-targeted mRNAs. How EDC4 interacts with MARF1 and how it represses MARF1 activity is unclear. In this study, we show that human MARF1 and XRN1 interact with EDC4 using analogous conserved short linear motifs in a mutually exclusive manner. While the EDC4-MARF1 interaction is required for EDC4 to inhibit MARF1 activity, our data indicate that the interaction with EDC4 alone is not sufficient. Importantly, we show that P-body architecture plays a critical role in antagonizing MARF1-mediated mRNA decay. Taken together, our study suggests that P-bodies can directly regulate mRNA turnover by sequestering an mRNA decay enzyme and preventing it from interfacing with and degrading targeted mRNAs.
