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

Poly(A) tail is a hallmark of eukaryotic messenger RNA and its length plays an essential role in regulating mRNA metabolism. However, a comprehensive resource for plant poly(A) tail length has yet to be established. Here, we applied a poly(A)-enrichment-free, nanopore-based method to profile full-length RNA with poly(A) tail information in plants. Our atlas contains over 120 million polyadenylated mRNA molecules from seven different tissues of Arabidopsis, as well as the shoot tissue of maize, soybean and rice. In most tissues, the size of plant poly(A) tails shows peaks at approximately 20 and 45 nucleotides, while the poly(A) tails in pollen exhibit a distinct pattern with strong peaks centred at 55 and 80 nucleotides. Moreover, poly(A) tail length is regulated in a gene-specific manner-mRNAs with short half-lives in general have long poly(A) tails, while mRNAs with long half-lives are featured with relatively short poly(A) tails that peak at ~45 nucleotides. Across species, poly(A) tails in the nucleus are almost twice as long as in the cytoplasm. Our comprehensive dataset lays the groundwork for future functional and evolutionary studies on poly(A) tail length regulation in plants.
