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

The subcellular localization of mRNAs plays a pivotal role in biological processes, including cell migration. For instance, β-actin mRNA and its associated RNA-binding protein (RBP), ZBP1/IGF2BP1, are recruited to focal adhesions (FAs) to support localized β-actin synthesis, crucial for cell migration. However, whether other mRNAs and RBPs also localize at FAs remains unclear. Here, we identify hundreds of mRNAs that are enriched at FAs (FA-mRNAs). FA-mRNAs share characteristics with stress granule (SG) mRNAs and are found in ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes with the SG RBP. Mechanistically, G3BP1 binds to FA proteins in an RNA-dependent manner, and its RNA-binding and dimerization domains, essential for G3BP1 to form RNPs in SG, are required for FA localization and cell migration. We find that G3BP1 RNPs promote cell speed by enhancing FA protein mobility and FA size. These findings suggest a previously unappreciated role for G3BP1 RNPs in regulating FA function under non-stress conditions.
