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

The mRNA polyadenylation plays essential function in regulation of mRNA metabolism. Mis-regulations of mRNA polyadenylation are frequently linked with aberrant gene expression and disease progression. Under the action of polyadenylate polymerase, poly(A) tail is synthesized after the polyadenylation signal (PAS) sites on the mRNAs. Alternative polyadenylation (APA) often occurs in mRNAs with multiple poly(A) sites, producing different 3' ends for transcript variants, and therefore plays important functions in gene expression regulation. In this review, we first summarize the classical process of mRNA 3'-terminal formation and discuss the length control mechanisms of poly(A) in nucleus and cytoplasm. Then we review the research progress on alternative polyadenylation regulation and the APA site selection mechanism. Finally, we summarize the functional roles of APA in the regulation of gene expression and diseases including cancers.
