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

Nearly 1 000 000 copies of Alu interspersed elements comprise approximately 5% of human DNA. Alu elements cause gene disruptions by a process known as retrotransposition, in which dimeric Alu RNA is a presumed intermediate. Dimeric Alu transcripts are labile, giving rise to stable left monomeric scAlu RNAs whose levels are tightly regulated. Induction of Alu RNA by viral infection or cell stress leads to a dramatic increase in dimeric Alu transcripts, while scAlu RNA increases modestly. Each monomer of the dimeric Alu element shares sequence homology with the 7SL RNA component of the signal recognition particle (SRP). The SRP protein known as SRP9/14 is also found in a discrete complex with scAlu RNA, although whether dimeric Alu RNA is associated with SRP9/14 had been unknown. Here we show that antiserum to human SRP9 immunoprecipitates both scAlu RNA and dimeric Alu RNAs and that these RNPs accumulate after adenovirus infection, while levels of SRP9, SRP14, SRP54 and 7SL SRP RNA are unaffected. Dimeric Alu RNAs are also associated with the La protein, indicating that these are indeed nascent RNA polymerase III transcripts. This report documents that induced Alu transcripts are assembled into SRP9/14-containing RNPs in vivo while SRP levels are unchanged. Implications for Alu RNA metabolism and evolution are discussed.
