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

Regulation of gene expression in trypanosomatid parasites is predominantly post-transcriptional. Primary transcripts are trans-spliced and polyadenylated to generate mature mRNAs and transcript stability is a major factor controlling stage-specific gene expression. Degenerate PCR has been used to clone the gene encoding the Leishmania homologue of poly(A)-binding protein (Lm PAB1), as an approach to the identification of trans-acting factors involved in this atypical mode of eukaryotic gene expression. lmpab1 is a single copy gene encoding a 63 kDa protein which shares major structural features but only 35-40% amino acid identity with other PAB1 sequences, including those of other trypanosomatids. Lm PAB1 is expressed at constant levels during parasite differentiation and is phosphorylated in vivo. It is localised predominantly in the cytoplasm but inhibition of transcription with actinomycin D also reveals diffuse localisation in the nucleus. Lm PAB1 binds poly(A) with high specificity and affinity but fails to complement a null mutation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These properties are indicative of functional divergence in vivo.
