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

Localization of mRNAs, a crucial step in the early development of some animals, has been shown to be directed by cis-acting elements that presumably interact with localization factors. Here we identify a protein, exl, that binds to BLE1, an RNA localization element from the Drosophila bicoid mRNA. Using mutations in BLE1, we demonstrate a correlation between in vitro exl binding and one phase of in vivo localization directed by BLE1, implicating exl in that localization event. Furthermore, the same phase of localization is disrupted in exuperantia mutants, suggesting that exl and exuperantia proteins interact. Identification of a protein that binds specifically to an mRNA localization element and acts in mRNA localization opens the way for a biochemical analysis of this process.
