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

mRNA stability is the mechanism by which cells protect transcripts allowing their expression to execute various functions that affect cell metabolism and fate. It is well-established that RNA binding proteins (RBPs) such as HuR use their ability to stabilize mRNA targets to modulate vital processes such as muscle fiber formation (myogenesis). However, the machinery and the mechanisms regulating mRNA stabilization are still elusive. Here, we identified Y-Box binding protein 1 (YB1) as an indispensable HuR binding partner for mRNA stabilization and promotion of myogenesis. Both HuR and YB1 bind to 409 common mRNA targets, 147 of which contain a U-rich consensus motif in their 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) that can also be found in mRNA targets in other cell systems. YB1 and HuR form a heterodimer that associates with the U-rich consensus motif to stabilize key promyogenic mRNAs. The formation of this complex involves a small domain in HuR (227-234) that if mutated prevents HuR from reestablishing myogenesis in siHuR-treated muscle cells. Together our data uncover that YB1 is a key player in HuR-mediated stabilization of pro-myogenic mRNAs and provide the first indication that the mRNA stability mechanism is as complex as other key cellular processes such as mRNA decay and translation.
