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

RNA-RNA base pairing plays a critical role in the interactions between pre-mRNAs and trans-acting factors during the processing of pre-mRNAs (hnRNAs) into mRNAs, and it is likely that specific factors are required to promote the annealing of RNAs. To identify particular nuclear components that have such activity, we fractionated HeLa nucleoplasm and assayed for activity which promoted the hybridization of a pre-mRNA with an antisense RNA probe complementary to 60 nucleotides (nt) encompassing the 3' splice site. At least nine major RNA annealing activities were identified and, surprisingly, eight of these copurified partially or to homogeneity with known hnRNP proteins. The activities of three of these proteins, hnRNP A1, C1 and U, were confirmed using purified recombinant proteins. Moreover, we found that the RNA binding domain alone of hnRNP C1/C2 had significant activity, indicating that this RNA annealing may result, at least partly, from chaperone activity: a direct modulation of RNA conformation by hnRNP proteins. The finding that hnRNP proteins have strong RNA annealing activity indicates that they can profoundly affect the interactions of pre-mRNAs with trans-acting factors and suggests this to be an important function of hnRNP proteins in the processing of pre-mRNAs.
