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

Translational stimulation of mRNAs during early development is often accompanied by increases in poly(A) tail length. Poly(A)-binding protein (PAB) is an evolutionarily conserved protein that binds to the poly(A) tails of eukaryotic mRNAs. We examined PAB's role in living cells, using both Xenopus laevis oocytes and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, by tethering it to the 3'-untranslated region of reporter mRNAs. Tethered PAB stimulates translation in vivo. Neither a poly(A) tail nor PAB's poly(A)-binding activity is required. Multiple domains of PAB act redundantly in oocytes to stimulate translation: the interaction of RNA recognition motifs (RRMs) 1 and 2 with eukaryotic initiation factor-4G correlates with translational stimulation. Interaction with Paip-1 is insufficient for stimulation. RRMs 3 and 4 also stimulate, but bind neither factor. The regions of tethered PAB required in yeast to stimulate translation and stabilize mRNAs differ, implying that the two functions are distinct. Our results establish that oocytes contain the machinery necessary to support PAB-mediated translation and suggest that PAB may be an important participant in translational regulation during early development.
