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

Human RNase MRP is a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) enzyme that processes precursor rRNA (pre-rRNA) at ITS1 site 2 and may have additional activities. It is an endonuclease related to RNase P, which processes pre-tRNAs and pre-tRNA-like substrates. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, these two RNPs utilize distinct catalytic RNAs with eight shared and one or two specific protein subunits. However, the human RNase MRP-specific protein subunits remain unidentified. Our genome-wide forward genetic screening identifies two poorly characterized human genes, which we name ribonuclease MRP subunit P24 (RMP24) and RMP64. We show that Rmp24 and Rmp64 are required for pre-rRNA ITS1 site 2 processing and associate with MRP RNA but are not required for RNase P activity and do not associate with RNase P-specific H1 RNA. Despite limited sequence homology, Rmp24 and Rmp64 exhibit predicted structural similarities to two RNase MRP-specific components in S. cerevisiae. Collectively, our functional screening and validation reveal two protein components unique to human nuclear RNase MRP.
