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

Subcellular compartments organize RNAs into phase-separated condensates, significantly influencing RNA metabolism. However, the study of how specific RNAs regulate interacting factors and their phenotypic outcomes is hindered by the lack of advanced imaging and regulation tools. To address this, we developed an orthogonal RNA aptamer system, Clivia-HT, which integrates a fluorescent imager with a ribonuclease-targeting chimera (RIBOTAC) degrader. This platform enables simultaneous RNA visualization and targeted degradation in living cells. Furthermore, we engineered light-activatable and light-inactivatable RIBOTACs to achieve temporal RNA degradation control. Applying this system, we demonstrated that Activating Transcription Factor 4 (ATF4) mRNA localizes to stress granules and regulates their dynamics. We also detected the role of Non-Coding RNA Activated by DNA Damage (NORAD) in RNA-protein condensate assembly. Our approach establishes a versatile method for spatiotemporal RNA manipulation, providing a powerful tool for probing RNA function in dynamic cellular environments.
