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

Condensates that accumulate small RNA biogenesis factors (nuage) are common in germ cells and often associate with nuclei. In the Caenorhabditis elegans germline, P granules overlay large clusters of nuclear pores and this organization has been proposed to facilitate surveillance of nascent transcripts by Argonaute proteins enriched in P granules. We report that co-clustering of nuclear pores and P granules depends on FG repeat-containing nucleoporins and FG repeats in the Vasa class helicase GLH-1. Worms with mutations that prevent this co-clustering are fertile under standard growth conditions and exhibit misregulation of only a minority of genes, including replication-dependent histones. Our observations suggest that association with nuclear pores, although non-essential for genome surveillance, may serve to tune mRNA flow through P granules and other nuage condensates.
