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 Ro ribonucleoproteins (RoRNP) consist of at least one major protein of 60 kD, Ro60, and one small associated RNA, designated Y RNA. Although RoRNP have been found in all vertebrate species examined so far, their function remains unknown. The Caenorhabditis elegans rop-1 gene previously has been identified as encoding a Ro60 homologue. We report here the phenotypic characterization of a C. elegans strain in which rop-1 has been disrupted. This is the first report regarding the inactivation of a major RoRNP constituent in any organism. The rop-1 mutant worms display no visible defects. However, at the molecular level, the disruption of rop-1 results in a dramatic decrease in the levels of the ROP-1-associated RNA (CeY RNA). Moreover, transgenic expression of wild-type rop-1 partially rescues the levels of CeY RNA. Considering that transgenes are poorly expressed in the germline, the fact that the rescue is only partial is most likely related to the high abundance of the CeY RNA in the adult germline and in embryos. The developmental expression pattern and localization of CeY RNA suggest a role for this molecule during embryogenesis. We conclude that, under laboratory culture conditions, ROP-1 does not play a crucial role in C. elegans.
