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

Consecutive guanine RNA sequences can adopt quadruple-stranded structures, termed RNA G-quadruplexes (rG4s). Although rG4-forming sequences are abundant in transcriptomes, the physiological roles of rG4s in the central nervous system remain poorly understood. In the present study, proteomics analysis of the mouse forebrain identified DNAPTP6 as an RNA binding protein with high affinity and selectivity for rG4s. We found that DNAPTP6 coordinates the assembly of stress granules (SGs), cellular phase-separated compartments, in an rG4-dependent manner. In neurons, the knockdown of DNAPTP6 diminishes the SG formation under oxidative stress, leading to synaptic dysfunction and neuronal cell death. rG4s recruit their mRNAs into SGs through DNAPTP6, promoting RNA self-assembly and DNAPTP6 phase separation. Together, we propose that the rG4-dependent phase separation of DNAPTP6 plays a critical role in neuronal function through SG assembly.
