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

Trypanosome gene expression is regulated almost exclusively at the posttranscriptional level, through mRNA stability, storage and degradation. Here, we characterize the ribonucleoprotein complex (mRNPs) corresponding to the zinc finger protein TcZC3H39 from T. cruzi comparing cells growing in normal conditions and under nutritional stress. The nutritional stress is a key step during T. cruzi differentiation from epimastigote form to human infective metacyclic trypomastigote form. The mechanisms by which the stress, altogether with other stimuli, triggers differentiation is not well understood. This work aims to characterize the TcZC3H39 protein during stress response. Using cells cultured in normal and stress conditions, we observed a dynamic change in TcZC3H39 granule distribution, which appeared broader in stressed epimastigotes. The protein core of the TcZC3H39-mRNP is composed of ribosomes, translation factors and RBPs. The TcZC3H39-mRNP could act sequestering highly expressed mRNAs and their associated ribosomes, potentially slowing translation in stress conditions. A shift were observed in the mRNAs associated with TcZC3H39: the number of targets in unstressed epimastigotes was smaller than that in stressed parasites, with no clear functional clustering in normal conditions. By contrast, in stressed parasites, the targets of TcZC3H39 were mRNAs encoding ribosomal proteins and a remarkable enrichment in mRNAs for the cytochrome c complex (COX), highly expressed mRNAs in the replicative form. This identification of a new component of RNA granules in T. cruzi, the TcZC3H39 protein, provides new insight into the mechanisms involved in parasite stress responses and the regulation of gene expression during T. cruzi differentiation.
