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 cell nucleus contains distinct biomolecular condensates that form at specific genetic loci, organize chromosomes in 3D space, and regulate RNA processing. Among these, Cajal bodies (CBs) require key "scaffolding" proteins for their assembly, which is not fully understood. Here, we employ proximity biotinylation, mass spectrometry, and functional screening to comprehensively identify and test the functions of CB components. We document 144 protein interactors of coilin, of which 70 were newly detected, and establish 25 players needed for CB assembly and/or maintenance. Surprisingly, the depletion of nine coilin interactors-mostly constituents of the 60S ribosome (RPLs)-increased CB number and caused subdomains defined by coilin and the survival motor neuron protein (SMN) to merge. These phenotypes were traceable to altered nuclear levels of dimethylarginine. Our data implicate RPL24 and other players in the regulation of CBs by modulating posttranslational modifications. Moreover, the prevalence of transcription factors among the identified components highlights roles for gene activity in CB assembly and nuclear positioning.
