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

Intrinsically disordered arginine-glycine (RG) repeat domains are enriched in multilayered biomolecular condensates such as the nucleolus. Caenorhabditis elegans nucleolar RG repeats are dispensable for nucleolar accumulation and instead contribute to the organization of sub-nucleolar compartments. The sufficiency of RG repeats to facilitate sub-nucleolar compartmentalization is unclear. In this study, we drive expression of full-length RG repeats in the C. elegans germline to test their ability to localize to nucleoli and organize into nucleolar sub-compartments in vivo. We find that repeats accumulate within germ cell nucleoli but do not enrich in the correct sub-compartment. Our results suggest that RG repeats may indirectly influence nucleolar organization by creating an environment favorable for sub-nucleolar compartmentalization of proteins primarily based on their function within the nucleolus.
