Two dipeptide repeat proteins are produced from mammalian telomeric RNA previously thought to be a long non-coding RNA.
Review in RNA biology, 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
Studies of neurological diseases caused by the expansion of nucleotide repeats led to the discovery that RNA can undergo translation by ribosomes in the absence of canonical AUG start signals, a process termed repeat-associated non-ATG translation (RAN). This discovery suggested that RNA transcribed from mammalian telomeres, termed TERRA, could generate RAN products. Indeed, two dipeptide repeat proteins can be produced: repeating arginine-valine (VR) and repeating glycine-leucine (GL). Both VR and GL form amyloid aggregates, and VR was observed to be expressed in cells with elevated TERRA, including a human osteosarcoma line. VR undergoes a change in aggregation state during mitosis, where it becomes dispersed, binds ribosomes and can depress translation, possibly playing a regulatory role in the cell cycle. The discovery that RAN translation can occur on telomeric RNAs has opened new connections between telomeres, ageing and the generation of RAN proteins with important biological activities.
