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

Ribonucleoprotein granules such as processing bodies (P-bodies) and stress granules (SGs) are membrane-less organelles that regulate mRNA metabolism through liquid-liquid phase separation. UBAP2L drives SG assembly and can bridge P-bodies with SGs, yet how it is mobilized between these compartments remains unclear. Here, using co-immunoprecipitation, GST pull-down, CRISPR-Cas9-mediated knockout, and immunofluorescence microscopy, we demonstrate that CCHCR1 directly binds UBAP2L and that this interaction is dynamically regulated by stress intensity. Under mild oxidative stress, CCHCR1 retains UBAP2L in P-bodies; as stress intensifies, this interaction weakens, permitting UBAP2L release for SG assembly. CCHCR1 deficiency aberrantly traps UBAP2L in P-bodies via enhanced DDX6 association, resulting in defective SG assembly, delayed maturation, and increased P-body-SG fusion. These findings establish CCHCR1 as a stress-responsive switch that controls UBAP2L partitioning between P-bodies and stress granules, thereby controlling the threshold and kinetics of SG biogenesis.
