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

Five ribonucleoproteins (or RNA-binding proteins) from tobacco chloroplasts have been identified to date; each of these contains an acidic N-terminal domain (24-64 amino acids) and two conserved RNA-binding domains (82-83 amino acids). All five ribonucleoproteins can bind to ssDNA and dsDNA but show high specificity for poly(G) and poly(U). Here we present the nucleic acid binding activity of each domain using a series of deletion mutant proteins made in vitro from the chloroplast 29 kDa ribonucleoproteins. The acidic domain does not have a positive effect on binding activities and proteins lacking this domain show higher affinities for nucleic acids than the wild-type proteins. Mutant proteins containing single RNA-binding domains can bind to poly(G) and poly(U), though with lower affinities than proteins containing two RNA-binding domains. The spacer region (11-37 amino acids) between the two RNA-binding domains does not interact with poly(G) or poly(U) by itself, but is required for the additive activity of the two RNA-binding domains. Proteins consisting of two RNA-binding domains but lacking the spacer have the same activity as those containing only one RNA-binding domain. Possible roles for each domain in chloroplast ribonucleoproteins are discussed.
