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 mRNA encoding the bean proline-rich protein PvPRP1 has been shown previously to be destabilized in elicitor-treated cells. In this study, we identified a 50-kD protein in cellular extracts that binds specifically to the PvPRP1 mRNA by UV cross-linking assays. Using 32P-labeled RNAs transcribed in vitro from a series of 5[prime] deleted PvPRP1 cDNA clones, we demonstrated that the PvPRP1 mRNA binding protein (PRP-BP) binds to a 27-nucleotide U-rich (~60%) domain in the 3[prime] untranslated region. Poly(U) and, to a lesser extent, poly(A-U) competed for the PRP-BP binding activity. PRP-BP activity is redox regulated in vitro, as shown by the effects of sulfhydryl-modifying reagents on the RNA binding activity. Treatment of cellular extracts with the reducing agents DTT and [beta]-mercaptoethanol increased binding activity, whereas treatment with the oxidizing agent diamide and the alkylating agent N-ethylmaleimide inhibited binding. In extracts from elicitor-treated cells, PRP-BP activity increased approximately fivefold prior to rapid PvPRP1 mRNA degradation. The increase in PRP-BP activity was apparently due to post-translational regulation because control and elicitor-treated cell extracts supplemented with DTT showed high comparable levels of RNA binding activity. The kinetics of PRP-BP activation after elicitor treatment and its capacity for redox regulation in vitro suggested that PRP-BP may function in the elicitor-induced destabilization of PvPRP1 mRNA.
