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 interaction between box C/D small nucleolar (sno)RNAs and the 15.5K protein nucleates snoRNP assembly. Many eukaryotic snoRNAs contain two potential binding sites for this protein, only one of which appears to be utilized in vivo. The binding site conforms to the consensus for a kink-turn motif. We have investigated the molecular basis for selection of one potential site over the other using in vitro mobility shift assays and nucleotide analog interference mapping of Xenopus U25 snoRNA and of a circularly permuted form. We find that preferential binding of human 15.5K is not dependent on the proximity of RNA ends, but instead appears to require a structural context beyond the kink-turn itself. Direct analysis of the energetic contributions to binding made by 18 functional groups within the kink-turn identified both backbone atoms and base functionalities as key for interaction. An intramolecular RNA-RNA contact via a 2'-hydroxyl may supercede a putative Type I A-minor interaction in stabilizing the RNA-protein complex.
