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

backgroundProcessing bodies (P-bodies) are nonmembranous ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules located in the cytosol that function as assembly hubs for RNA storage and degradation. Although there are reports indicating that certain P-body proteins are also present at the centrosome and participate in primary cilia development, how these P-body proteins localize to the centrosome remains unclear. In mammalian cells, coiled-coil alpha-helical rod protein 1 (CCHCR1) is localized to both the P-bodies and centrosomes, where it interacts with the P-body component enhancer of mRNA-decapping protein 4 (EDC4) as well as a range of centriolar satellite components, yet its cellular function remains poorly characterized.

methodsBiotin identification (BioID) coupled with mass spectrometry, immunoprecipitation (IP), glutathione S-transferase (GST) pull-down, and acceptor bleaching fluorescence resonance energy transfer (AB-FRET) assay were used to explore and identify protein-protein interactions. Gene overexpression, RNA interference-based gene knockdown, CRISPR-Cas9-mediated gene knockout, and immunofluorescence (IF) were applied to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanism.

resultsWe identified that CCHCR1 interacts with oral-facial-digital syndrome 1 protein (OFD1) via its C-terminal coiled-coil domain. The centrosomal localization of CCHCR1 is determined by OFD1 and pericentriolar materials 1 (PCM1). We also found that CCHCR1 recruits P-body proteins to the centrosome through interacting with EDC4 via its N-terminal coiled-coil domain. Depletion of either CCHCR1 or P-body components EDC4 and DEAD-Box Helicase 6 (DDX6) impairs ciliogenesis.

conclusionsCCHCR1 acts as a linker that recruits P-body proteins to the centrosome and is essential for cilia development. The recruitment of P-body proteins to the centrosome via CCHCR1 is also one of the mechanisms by which PCM1 and OFD1 are involved in ciliogenesis.
