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

Posttranscriptional controls play a major role in eucaryotic gene expression. These controls are mediated by sequence-specific interactions of cis-acting determinants in target mRNAs with one or more protein factors. The positioning of a subset of these mRNA-protein (RNP) complexes within the 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) may allow them to remain associated with the mRNA during active translation. Robust expression of human alpha-globin mRNA during erythroid differentiation has been linked to formation of a binary complex between a KH-domain protein, alphaCP, and a 3' UTR C-rich motif. Detection of this "alpha-complex" has been limited to in vitro studies, and the functional state of the alpha-globin mRNA targeted by alphaCP has not been defined. In the present study we demonstrate that a significant fraction of alphaCP is associated with polysomal mRNA. Targeted analysis of the polysomal RNP complexes revealed that alphaCP is specifically bound to actively translating alpha-globin mRNA. The bound alphaCP is restricted to the poly(C)-rich 3' UTR motif and is dislodged when ribosomes are allowed to enter this region. These data validate the general importance of the 3' UTR as a sheltered site for RNP complexes and support a specific model in which the stabilizing function of alphaCP is mediated on actively translating target mRNAs.
