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

Proteins of the Imp4/Brix superfamily are involved in ribosomal RNA processing, an essential function in all cells. We report the first structure of an Imp4/Brix superfamily protein, the Mil (for Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus Imp4-like) protein (gene product Mth680), from the archaeon M. thermautotrophicus. The amino- and carboxy-terminal halves of Mil show significant structural similarity to one another, suggesting an origin by means of an ancestral duplication. Both halves show the same fold as the anticodon-binding domain of class IIa aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, with greater conservation seen in the N-terminal half. This structural similarity, together with the charge distribution in Mil, suggests that Imp4/Brix superfamily proteins could bind single-stranded segments of RNA along a concave surface formed by the N-terminal half of their beta-sheet and a central alpha-helix. The crystal structure of Mil is incompatible with the presence, in the Imp4/Brix domain, of a helix-turn-helix motif that was proposed to comprise the RNA-binding moiety of the Imp4/Brix proteins.
