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 role of spliced leader RNA (SL RNA) in trans-splicing in Caenorhabditis elegans has been studied through a combination of in vitro mutagenesis and in vivo complementation of rrs-1 mutant nematodes, which lack endogenous SL1 RNA. Three classes of mutant SL1 RNAs have been found-those that rescue the lethal phenotype at low concentration of transforming DNA, those that rescue at high but not low concentration, and those that do not rescue at all. These studies showed that some mutations in the otherwise highly conserved 22-nt spliced leader are tolerated for splicing and post-splicing events. A longer spliced leader also can be tolerated but only when present in high copy number. Changes in the first 16 nucleotides result in the appearance of no SL RNA, consistent with the in vitro studies by others showing that the SL1 RNA promoter partly resides within the spliced leader sequence.
