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

RNA modifications are key regulatory factors for several biological and pathological processes. They are abundantly represented on ribosomal RNA (rRNA), where they contribute to regulate ribosomal function in mRNA translation. Altered RNA modification pathways have been linked to tumorigenesis as well as to other human diseases. In this study we quantitatively evaluated the site-specific pseudouridylation pattern in rRNA in breast cancer samples exploiting the RBS-Seq technique involving RNA bisulfite treatment coupled with a new NGS approach. We found a wide variability among patients at different sites. The most dysregulated positions in tumors turned out to be hypermodified with respect to a reference RNA. As for 2'O-methylation level of rRNA modification, we detected variable and stable pseudouridine sites, with the most stable sites being the most evolutionary conserved. We also observed that pseudouridylation levels at specific sites are related to some clinical and bio-pathological tumor features and they are able to distinguish different patient clusters. This study is the first example of the contribution that newly available high-throughput approaches for site specific pseudouridine detection can provide to the understanding of the intrinsic ribosomal changes occurring in human tumors.
