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 Xenopus oocytes, progesterone stimulates the cytoplasmic polyadenylation and resulting translational activation of c-mos mRNA, which is necessary for the induction of oocyte maturation. Although details of the biochemistry of polyadenylation are beginning to emerge, the mechanism by which 3' poly(A) addition stimulates translation initiation is enigmatic. A previous report showed that polyadenylation induced cap-specific 2'-O-methylation, and suggested that this 5' end modification was important for translational activation. Here, we demonstrate that injected c-mos RNA undergoes polyadenylation and cap ribose methylation. Inhibition of this methylation by S-isobutylthioadenosine (SIBA), a methyltransferase inhibitor, has little effect on progesterone-induced c-mos mRNA polyadenylation or general protein synthesis, but prevents the synthesis of Mos protein as well as oocyte maturation. Maturation can be rescued, however, by the injection of factors that act downstream of Mos, such as cyclin A and B mRNAs. Most importantly, we show that the translational efficiency of injected mRNAs containing cap-specific 2'-O-methylation (cap I) is significantly enhanced compared to RNAs that do not contain the methylated ribose (cap 0). These results suggest that cap ribose methylation of c-mos mRNA is important for translational recruitment and for the progression of oocytes through meiosis.
