Fibrillarin/Nop1 perturbs RNA folding and assembly independently of liquid-liquid phase separation.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
The liquid-liquid phase-separated environment of the eukaryotic nucleolus is proposed to benefit ribosome assembly by chaperoning rRNA folding and spatially sorting ribosome assembly factors. Yet, how microscopic interactions within the condensed nucleolus affect rRNA folding and assembly is largely unknown. We used single-molecule fluorescence microscopy to monitor folding of the Tetrahymena ribozyme and an rRNA domain inside and outside droplets of Nop1/fibrillarin, a major constituent of the nucleolus. We found that Nop1 destabilizes tertiary docking of the ribozyme substrate helix equally in dilute and condensed phases, depending only on transient molecular interactions between Nop1 and the ribozyme. Nop1 binding also inhibits rRNA unwinding by a DEAD-box helicase and nonspecific binding of a ribosomal protein. Over time, nonspecific interactions with Nop1 are outcompeted by specific RNA-protein assembly. Our results illustrate how RNA-binding proteins residing in the nucleolus tune RNA folding stability while permitting assembly of native ribosomal complexes.
