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

The decay rates of eukaryotic transcripts can be determined by sequence elements within an mRNA. One example of this phenomenon is the rapid degradation of the yeast MATalpha1 mRNA, which is promoted by a 65 nt segment of its coding region termed the MATalpha1 instability element (MIE). The MIE is also capable of destabilizing the stable PGK1 transcript. To determine how the MIE accelerates mRNA turnover we examined the mechanism of degradation of the MATalpha1 transcript. These experiments indicated that the MATalpha1 mRNA was degraded by a deadenylation-dependent decapping reaction which exposed the transcript to 5'-->3' exonucleolytic digestion. Deletion of the MIE from the MATalpha1 mRNA decreased the rate at which this mRNA was decapped. In contrast, insertion of the MIE into the PGK1 transcript caused an increase in the rate of deadenylation of the resulting chimeric mRNA. These observations suggest that the MIE promotes rapid mRNA decay by increasing the rates of deadenylation and decapping, with its primary effect on mRNA turnover depending on additional features of a given transcript. These results also strengthen the hypothesis that deadenylation-dependent decapping is a common pathway of mRNA decay in yeast and indicate that an instability element within the coding region of an mRNA can effect nucleolytic events that occur at both the 5'- and 3'-ends of an mRNA.
