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

mRNA degradation pathways have key regulatory roles in gene expression. The intrinsic stability of mRNAs in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells varies widely in a gene- and isoform-dependent manner and can be regulated by cellular cues, such as kinase signalling, to control mRNA levels and spatiotemporal dynamics of gene expression. Moreover, specialized quality control pathways exist to rid cells of non-functional mRNAs produced by errors in mRNA processing or mRNA damage that negatively impact translation. Recent advances in structural, single-molecule and genome-wide methods have provided new insights into the central machineries that carry out mRNA turnover, the mechanisms by which mRNAs are targeted for degradation and the general principles that govern mRNA stability at a global level. This improved understanding of mRNA degradation in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells is finding practical applications in the design of therapeutic mRNAs.
