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

Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are emerging regulators of cellular processes and stress response by controlling chromatin architecture and gene expression. Recent studies have revealed that these ncRNAs functions are closely associated with nuclear condensates, membrane-less compartments formed by liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) that provide a specialized subnuclear environment for genome organization as well as transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation. Disruption of RNA-mediated nuclear condensates is increasingly linked to human diseases, including neurodegenerative disease and cancer, emphasizing their essential role in maintaining cellular homeostasis. Advances in high-resolution microscopy and high-throughput sequencing have elucidated subcompartmental structures and genetic components of nuclear condensates by identifying associated RNA molecules and providing the details of RNA-protein interactions at a single-nucleotide resolution. We now understand that ncRNAs act as scaffolds that recruit RNA-binding proteins with intrinsically disordered domains to trigger the nucleation event for LLPS, resulting in the formation of nuclear condensates. In this review, we summarize how RNAs and RNA-binding proteins contribute to RNA-mediated nuclear condensate formation via LLPS and support their regulatory functions.
