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

The TREX2 complex bridges transcription and RNA export. Its subunits show differences in expression, localization, and dynamics, suggesting distinct cellular roles. To understand the roles of individual TREX2 components, we characterized their interactomes. We identified novel, evolutionarily conserved SAC3(PCI-fold)-based subcomplexes with its PCID2 subunit. PCID2 acts as a scaffold for mutually exclusive yet structurally related subcomplexes with GANP, LENG8, and SAC3D1. These subcomplexes have alternative localization at the nuclear envelope, nuclear speckles and cytosol. LENG8 localizes in nuclear speckles and interacts extensively with the mRNA processing factors. LENG8 depletion alters mRNA processing and polyadenylation site usage. LENG8 thus acts upstream of the canonical TREX2 complex, in which PCID2 cooperates with GANP in mRNA export. Together, our findings reveal that TREX2 is not a uniform complex but a modular system, in which TREX2 subunits can assemble into functionally distinct subcomplexes through interacting partners that define their specificity and alternative functions.
