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

Bacterial tyrosyl-tRNA synthetases (TyrRS) possess a flexibly linked C-terminal domain of approximately 80 residues, which has hitherto been disordered in crystal structures of the enzyme. We have determined the structure of Thermus thermophilus TyrRS at 2.0 A resolution in a crystal form in which the C-terminal domain is ordered, and confirm that the fold is similar to part of the C-terminal domain of ribosomal protein S4. We have also determined the structure at 2.9 A resolution of the complex of T.thermophilus TyrRS with cognate tRNA(tyr)(G Psi A). In this structure, the C-terminal domain binds between the characteristic long variable arm of the tRNA and the anti-codon stem, thus recognizing the unique shape of the tRNA. The anticodon bases have a novel conformation with A-36 stacked on G-34, and both G-34 and Psi-35 are base-specifically recognized. The tRNA binds across the two subunits of the dimeric enzyme and, remarkably, the mode of recognition of the class I TyrRS for its cognate tRNA resembles that of a class II synthetase in being from the major groove side of the acceptor stem.
