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 decoding of specific UGA codons as selenocysteine is specified by the Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) element. Additionally, Sec-tRNA([Ser]Sec) and the dedicated Sec-specific elongation factor eEFSec are required but not sufficient for nonsense suppression. SECIS binding protein 2 (SBP2) is also essential for Sec incorporation, but its precise role is unknown. In addition to binding the SECIS element, SBP2 binds stably and quantitatively to ribosomes. To determine the function of the SBP2-ribosome interaction, conserved amino acids throughout the SBP2 L7Ae RNA binding motif were mutated to alanine in clusters of five. Mutant proteins were analyzed for ribosome binding, SECIS element binding, and Sec incorporation activity, allowing us to identify two distinct but interdependent sites within the L7Ae motif: (i) a core L7Ae motif required for SECIS binding and ribosome binding and (ii) an auxiliary motif involved in physical and functional interactions with the ribosome. Structural modeling of SBP2 based on the 15.5-kDa protein-U4 snRNA complex strongly supports a two-site model for L7Ae domain function within SBP2. These results provide evidence that the SBP2-ribosome interaction is essential for Sec incorporation.
