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

In the amphibian germinal vesicle small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) occur in morphologically distinct structures called snurposomes. Three types (A, B, and C) have been distinguished on the basis of cytological appearance and snRNA composition. C snurposomes in Xenopus are spherical bodies ranging in diameter from < 1 microns to about 10 microns. They stain intensely with antibodies against trimethylguanosine and the small nuclear ribonucleoprotein-specific Sm antigen but give weak or negative in situ hybridization reactions for the snRNAs involved in pre-mRNA splicing (U1, U2, U4, U5, and U6). We show here that C snurposomes in the Xenopus germinal vesicle contain U7 snRNA, an snRNA of low abundance involved in processing the 3' end of histone pre-mRNA. Xenopus U7 is 58 nucleotides long and is capped at the 5' end with trimethylguanosine. C snurposomes are often associated with B snurposomes, which contain the splicing snRNAs but not U7; B and C snurposomes together constitute a morphologically complex structure known as a sphere or sphere organelle. Although most spheres and C snurposomes are extrachromosomal, a few are attached at the histone gene loci on chromosomes 8, 9, and 16. Because they contain U7 snRNA and occur at the sites of histone pre-mRNA synthesis, C snurposomes presumably play a role in processing histone transcripts.
