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

Stress granules (SGs) are cytoplasmic messenger ribonucleoprotein granules transiently formed in stressed mammalian cells. Although SG components have been well characterized, detailed insights into the molecular behavior inside SGs remain unresolved. We investigated nanoscale dynamics and localization of endogenous mRNAs in SGs combining single mRNA tracking and super-resolution localization microscopy. First, we developed a methodology for tracking single mRNAs within SGs, revealing that although mRNAs in SGs are mainly stationary (∼40%), they also move in a confined (∼25%) or freely diffusing (∼35%) manner. Second, the super-resolution localization microscopy showed that the mRNAs in SGs are heterogeneously distributed and partially form high-density clusters. Third, we simultaneously performed single mRNA tracking and super-resolution microscopy in SGs, demonstrating that single mRNA trajectories are mainly found around high-density clusters. Finally, a quantitative analysis of mRNA localization and dynamics during stress removal was conducted using live super-resolution imaging and single-molecule tracking. These results suggest that SGs have a highly organized structure that enables dynamic regulation of the mRNAs at the nanoscale, which is responsible for the ordered formation and the wide variety of functions of SGs.
