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

Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing, catalysed by two ADAR isoforms (p110 and p150) and ADARB1, is a critical regulatory step in gene expression. Intriguingly, the nucleolus is conspicuously rich in ADAR p110 and ADARB1, though the biological reason remains unclear. To investigate a putative role of nucleolar enrichment in ADAR, we released it gradually from the nucleolus into the nucleoplasm by treating cells briefly with low doses of actinomycin D, known to disassemble the nucleolus. Deep sequencing of the transcriptome revealed that as ADAR dissociated from the nucleolus, RNA editing increased significantly, with sharp rises in both the number of edited sites and editing frequency. This co-transcriptional editing, predominantly in intronic regions, was associated with disrupted pre-mRNA splicing, causing exon skipping and intron retention which remodelled gene expression. These findings suggest that the nucleolar localization of ADAR serves to restrain its activity, preventing excessive editing that could lead to splicing errors and cellular dysfunction.
