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 Drosophila melanogaster hnRNP protein, hrp48, is an abundant heterogeneous nuclear RNA-associated protein. Previous biochemical studies have implicated hrp48 as a component of a ribonucleoprotein complex involved in the regulation of the tissue-specific alternative splicing of the P-element third intron (IVS3). We have taken a genetic approach to analyzing the role of hrp48. Mutations in the hrp48 gene were identified and characterized. hrp48 is an essential gene. Hypomorphic mutations which reduce the level of hrp48 protein display developmental defects, including reduced numbers of ommatidia in the eye and morphological bristle abnormalities. Using a P-element third-intron reporter transgene, we found that reduced levels of hrp48 partially relieve IVS3 splicing inhibition in somatic cells. This is the first direct evidence that hrp48 plays a functional role in IVS3 splicing inhibition.
