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

Living systems contain various membraneless organelles that segregate proteins and RNAs via liquid-liquid phase separation. Inspired by nature, many protein-based synthetic compartments have been engineered in vitro and in living cells. Here, we introduce a genetically encoded CAG-repeat RNA tag to reprogram cellular condensate formation and recruit various non-phase-transition RNAs for cellular modulation. With the help of fluorogenic RNA aptamers, we have systematically studied the formation dynamics, spatial distributions, sizes and densities of these cellular RNA condensates. The cis- and trans-regulation functions of these CAG-repeat tags in cellular RNA localization, life time, RNA-protein interactions and gene expression have also been investigated. Considering the importance of RNA condensation in health and disease, we expect that these genetically encodable modular and self-assembled tags can be widely used for chemical biology and synthetic biology studies.
