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

In the snoRNA host gene SNHG14, 29 consecutive introns each generate SNORD116, and 48 tandem introns encode SNORD115. Loss of SNORD116 expression, but not of SNORD115, is linked to the neurodevelopmental disease Prader-Willi syndrome. SNORD116 and SNORD115 resemble box C/D small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) but lack known targets. Both were strongly accumulated during neuronal differentiation, but with distinct mechanisms: Increased host-gene expression for SNORD115 and apparent stabilization for SNORD116. For functional characterization we created cell lines specifically lacking the expressed, paternally inherited, SNORD115 or SNORD116 cluster. Analyses during neuronal development indicates changes in RNA stability and protein synthesis. These data suggest that the loss of SNORD116 enhances some aspects of developmental timing of neuronal cells. Altered mRNAs include MAGEL2, causal in the PWS-like disorder Schaaf-Yang syndrome. Comparison of SNORD115 and SNORD116 mutants identifies small numbers of altered mRNAs and ncRNAs. These are enriched for functions potentially linked to PWS phenotypes and include protocadherins, which are key cell signalling factors during neurodevelopment.
