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

Cajal bodies (CBs) are subnuclear domains involved in the formation of ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) including small nuclear RNPs (snRNPs). CBs associate with specific gene loci, which impacts expression and provides a platform for the biogenesis of the nascent transcripts emanating from these genes. Here we report that CBs can associate with the C19MC microRNA (miRNA) gene cluster, which suggests a role for CBs in the biogenesis of animal miRNAs. The machinery involved in the formation of miRNAs includes the Drosha/DGCR8 complex, which processes primary-miRNA to precursor miRNA. Further processing of precursor miRNA by Dicer and other components generates mature miRNA. To test if CBs influence the expression and formation of miRNAs, we examined two representative miRNAs (miR-520 h and let-7a) in conditions that disrupt CBs. CB disruption correlates with alterations in the level of primary and mature miRNA and the let-7a mRNA target, HMGA2. We have also found that the processing of some small CB-specific RNAs (scaRNAs) is directly mediated by the Drosha/DGCR8 complex. ScaRNAs form scaRNPs, which play an important role in snRNP formation. Collectively, our results demonstrate that CBs and the miRNA processing machinery functionally interact and together contribute to the biogenesis of miRNAs and snRNPs.
