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 nucleolus is a multifunctional nuclear body. To tease out the roles of nucleolar structure without resorting to the use of multi-action drugs, we knocked down the RNA polymerase I subunit RPA194 in HeLa cells by siRNA. Loss of RPA194 resulted in nucleolar-structural segregation and effects on both nucleolus-proximal and distal-nuclear components. The perinucleolar compartment was disrupted, centromere clustering around nucleoli was significantly reduced, and the intranuclear locations of specific genomic loci were altered. Moreover, Cajal bodies, distal from nucleoli, underwent morphological and some compositional changes. In comparison, when the preribosomal RNA-processing factor, UTP4, was knocked down, neither nucleolar segregation nor the intranuclear effects were observed, demonstrating that the changes of nucleolar proximal and distal nuclear domains in RPA194 knockdown cells unlikely arise from a cessation of ribosome synthesis, rather from the consequence of nucleolar-structure alteration. These findings point to a commutative system that links nucleolar structure to the maintenance and spatial organization of certain nuclear domains and genomic loci.
