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

Neuronal growth and regeneration are regulated by local translation of mRNAs in axons. We examined RNA polyadenylation changes upon sensory neuron injury and found upregulation of a subset of polyadenylated B2-SINE repeat elements, hereby termed GI-SINEs (growth-inducing B2-SINEs). GI-SINEs are induced from ATF3 and other AP-1 promoter-associated extragenic loci in injured sensory neurons but are not upregulated in lesioned retinal ganglion neurons. Exogenous GI-SINE expression elicited axonal growth in injured sensory, retinal, and corticospinal tract neurons. GI-SINEs interact with ribosomal proteins and nucleolin, an axon-growth-regulating RNA-binding protein, to regulate translation in neuronal cytoplasm. Finally, antisense oligos against GI-SINEs perturb sensory neuron outgrowth and nucleolin-ribosome interactions. Thus, a specific subfamily of transposable elements is integral to a physiological circuit linking AP-1 transcription with localized RNA translation.
