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

Alternative polyadenylation of pre-mRNA generates mRNAs with alternative 3' ends, thereby increasing the complexity of the transcriptome and proteome. This process is carried out by pre-mRNA 3' end processing complexes, with the specificity and site selection of polyadenylation primarily defined by the interaction between these complexes and conserved pre-mRNA cis-elements. However, the cis-element recognized by the polyadenylation CFII complex and the downstream cis-element of the poly(A) site remain unknown. Here, FPA, a conserved Spen family RNA-binding protein, is identified to physically interacts with the CFII complex in Arabidopsis. FPA specifically binds to a GA-rich cis-element downstream of the proximal poly(A) site, which is required for the CFII complex to promote proximal poly(A) site usage and prevent 3' extension. Thus, the CFII complex recognizes the downstream cis-element of the poly(A) site through its interaction with FPA, highlighting the role of RNA-binding proteins as accessory factors in alternative polyadenylation.
