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

Complexes of nuclear factors 45 and 90 (NF45-NF90) play a multitude of roles in co- and post-transcriptional RNA processing, including regulating adenosine-to-inosine editing, cassette exon and back splicing, and splicing fidelity. NF45-NF90 complexes recognize double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and, in human cells, primarily interact with Alu inverted repeats (AluIRs) that are commonly inserted into introns and other non-coding RNA regions. Intronic AluIRs of ∼300 bp can regulate splicing outcomes, such as generation of circular RNAs. We examined domain reorganization of NF45-NF90 domains on dsRNAs exceeding 50 bp to gain insight into its RNA recognition properties on longer dsRNAs. Using a combination of phylogenetic analysis, solution methods (including small angle X-ray scattering and quantitative cross-linking mass spectrometry), machine learning, and negative stain electron microscopy, we generated a model of NF45-NF90 complex formation on dsRNA. Our data reveal that different interactions of NF45-NF90 complexes allow these proteins to coat long stretches of dsRNA. This property of the NF45-NF90 complex has important implications for how long, nuclear dsRNAs are recognized in the nucleus and how this might promote (co)-regulation of specific RNA splicing and editing events that shape the mammalian transcriptome.
