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

A complete understanding of gene expression relies on a comprehensive understanding of the protein-RNA recognition process. However, the study of protein-RNA recognition is complicated by many factors that contribute to both binding affinity and specificity, including structure, energetics, dynamical motions, and cooperative interactions. Several recent studies have suggested that energetic coupling between residues contributes to formation of the complex between the U1A protein and stem loop 2 of U1 snRNA as a consequence of a cooperative network of interactions. We have performed molecular dynamics simulations on the U1A-RNA complex, including explicit water and counterions, and analyzed the results based on the calculated positional cross-correlations of atomic fluctuations. The results indicate that cross-correlations calculated on a per residue basis agree well with the observed inter-residue cooperativity and predict that the networks identified to date may also be coupled into an extensive hyper-network that reflects the intrinsic rigidity of the RNA recognition motif. In addition, we report a comparison of the MD calculated correlations with the results of a positional covariance analysis based on the sequences of 330 RNA recognition motifs, including U1A. The calculated inter-residue cross-correlations agree very well with the results of the sites exhibiting positional covariance. Collectively, these results strongly support the hypothesis that collective fluctuations contribute to cooperativity and the corresponding observed thermodynamic coupling. Predictions of additional sites in U1A that may be involved in cooperative networks are advanced.
