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

RNA helicase DEAD-box helicase 1 (DDX1) forms a complex with the RNA ligase 2´,3´-cyclic phosphate and 5´-OH ligase (RTCB), which plays a vital role in non-spliceosomal splicing of tRNA and X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) mRNA. However, the importance of DDX1 in non-spliceosomal splicing has not been clarified. To analyze the functions of DDX1 in mammalian cells, we generated DDX1 cKO cells from the polyploid human U2OS cell line and found that splicing of intron-containing tRNAs was significantly disturbed in DDX1-deficient cells, whereas endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced splicing of XBP1 mRNA was unaffected. Additionally, the enforced expression of DDX1, but not of its helicase-inactive mutant, rescued the splicing defects of tRNAs in DDX1-deficient cells. These results indicate that RTCB is required for the splicing of both tRNA and XBP1 mRNA, whereas the DDX1 enzymatic activity is specifically required for tRNA splicing in vivo.
