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 monoclonal anti-dsRNA antibody J2 binds double-stranded RNAs (dsRNA) in an apparently sequence-nonspecific way. The mAb only recognizes antigens with double-stranded regions of at least 40 bp and its affinity to poly(A) poly(U) and to dsRNAs with mixed base pair composition is about tenfold higher than to poly(I) poly(C). Because no specific binding site could be determined, the number, the exact dimensions, and other distinct features of the binding sites on a given antigen are difficult to evaluate by biochemical methods. We therefore employed scanning force microscopy (SFM) as a method to analyze antibody-dsRNA interaction and protein-RNA binding in general. Several in vitro-synthesized dsRNA substrates, generated from the Dictyostelium PSV-A gene, were used. In addition to the expected sequence-nonspecific binding, imaging of the complexes indicated preferential binding of antibodies to the ends of dsRNA molecules as well as to certain internal sites. Analysis of 2,000 bound antibodies suggested that the consensus sequence of a preferential internal binding site is A2N9A3N9A2, thus presenting A residues on one face of the helix. The site was verified by site-directed mutagenesis, which abolished preferential binding to this region. The data demonstrate that SFM can be efficiently used to identify and characterize binding sites for proteins with no or incomplete sequence specificity. This is especially the case for many proteins involved in RNA metabolism.
