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

Addition of N6-methyladenosine (m6A), the most prevalent internal mRNA modification in eukaryotes, is catalyzed by an evolutionarily conserved m6A methyltransferase complex. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the m6A methyltransferase complex is composed of 2 core methyltransferases, mRNA adenosine methylase (MTA) and MTB, and several accessory subunits such as FK506-BINDING PROTEIN 12 KD INTERACTING PROTEIN 37KD (FIP37), VIRILIZER (VIR), and HAKAI. It is yet largely unknown whether these accessory subunits influence the functions of MTA and MTB. Herein, I reveal that FIP37 and VIR are indispensable for stabilizing the methyltransferases MTA and MTB, thus functioning as key subunits to maintain the functionality of the m6A methyltransferase complex. Furthermore, VIR affects FIP37 and HAKAI protein accumulation, while MTA and MTB mutually influence each other. In contrast, HAKAI has little effect on protein abundance or localization of MTA, MTB, and FIP37. These findings uncover unique functional interdependence at the post-translational level among individual components in the Arabidopsis m6A methyltransferase complex, suggesting that maintenance of protein homeostasis among various subunits of the m6A methyltransferase complex is essential for maintaining the protein stoichiometry required for the proper function of the m6A methyltransferase complex in m6A deposition in plants.
