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

mRNAs undergo a series of chemical modifications to become competent for nuclear export and translation. This is referred to as mRNA maturation or processing and includes capping, splicing, and 3'end formation. These steps can be hijacked in cancer to alter proteins' forms and levels in the absence of mutation or changes to transcript levels. Here, we focus on an emerging idea that some factors act in multiple processing events and that their dysregulation in both their canonical and noncanonical functions contributes to cancer with a focus on Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML). As examples, we discuss the eukaryotic translation initiation factor (eIF4E), splice factor 3 complex B subunit 1 (SF3B1), U2 small nuclear auxiliary factor (U2AF1), and associated factors. These physically interact with each other and play roles in splicing, export, and translation. Malignant dysregulation of this mRNA processing-export-translation axis diversifies the proteome to support cancer. Finally, we discuss the simultaneous dysregulation of mRNA processing in malignancy and related therapeutic development.
