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

Small nucleolar RNAs are non-coding transcripts that guide chemical modifications of RNA substrates and modulate gene expression at the epigenetic and post-transcriptional levels. However, the extent of their regulatory potential and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we identify a conserved, previously unannotated intronic C/D-box snoRNA, termed snR107, hosted in the fission yeast long non-coding RNA mamRNA and carrying two independent cellular functions. On the one hand, snR107 guides site-specific 25S rRNA 2'-O-methylation and promotes pre-rRNA processing and 60S subunit biogenesis. On the other hand, snR107 associates with the gametogenic RNA-binding proteins Mmi1 and Mei2, mediating their reciprocal inhibition and restricting meiotic gene expression during sexual differentiation. Both functions require distinct cis-motifs within snR107, including a conserved 2'-O-methylation guiding sequence. Together, our results position snR107 as a dual regulator of rRNA modification and gametogenesis effectors, expanding our vision on the non-canonical functions exerted by snoRNAs in cell fate decisions.
