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

Haploinsufficient mutation in arginine and glutamine-rich protein 1 (Arglu1), a newly identified pre-mRNA splicing regulator, may be linked to neural developmental disorders associated with mental retardation and epilepsy in human patients, but the underlying causes remain elusive. Here we show that ablation of Arglu1 promotes radial glial cell (RG) detachment from the ventricular zone (VZ), leading to ectopic localized RGs in the mouse embryonic cortex. Although they remain proliferative, ectopic progenitors, as well as progenitors in the VZ, exhibit prolonged mitosis, p53 upregulation and cell apoptosis, leading to reduced neuron production, neuronal loss and microcephaly. RNA seq analysis reveals widespread changes in alternative splicing in the mutant mouse embryonic cortex, preferentially affecting genes involved in neuronal functions. Mdm2 and Mdm4 are found to be alternatively spliced at the exon 3 and exon 5 respectively, leading to absence of the p53-binding domain and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) and thus relieve inhibition of p53. Removal of p53 largely rescues the microcephaly caused by deletion of Arglu1. Our findings provide mechanistic insights into cortical malformations of human patients with Arglu1 haploinsufficient mutation.
