Assembly of exon junction complexes on spliceosomes begins before spliceosome activation.
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
Despite the importance of exon junction complexes (EJCs) to co- and post-transcriptional gene control, how and when the EJC core of EIF4A3, RBM8A, and MAGOH, and the peripheral factors of the alternative RNPS1-EJC and CASC3-EJC, assemble on spliceosomes remain unclear. Existing characterizations that order EJC assembly on spliceosomes offer different conclusions. Using immunoprecipitations (IPs) of EIF4A3, RNPS1, or CASC3 in the presence of RNase I followed by liquid chromatography followed by tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analyses of human HEK293T cells, we expand upon those splicing factors that associate with EJC constituents. Referencing these data against existing cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) spliceosome structures at different stages of pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) splicing, coupled with data from a series of western blots of nuclear fractions before and after IP, we report that EIF4A3, RBM8A, MAGOH, and RNPS1 associate with assembled but inactive spliceosomes. This is followed by CASC3 joining to late activated spliceosomes. Our work bridges long-standing gaps in understanding EJC assembly on spliceosomes.
