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 Arabidopsis thaliana decapping enzyme (AtDcp2) was characterized by bioinformatics analysis and by biochemical studies of the enzyme and mutants produced by recombinant expression. Three functionally significant regions were detected: (i) a highly disordered C-terminal region with a putative PSD-95, Discs-large, ZO-1 (PDZ) domain-binding motif, (ii) a conserved Nudix box constituting the putative active site and (iii) a putative RNA binding domain consisting of the conserved Box B and a preceding loop region. Mutation of the putative PDZ domain-binding motif improved the stability of recombinant AtDcp2 and secondary mutants expressed in Escherichia coli. Such recombinant AtDcp2 specifically hydrolysed capped mRNA to produce 7-methyl GDP and decapped RNA. AtDcp2 activity was Mn(2+)- or Mg(2+)-dependent and was inhibited by the product 7-methyl GDP. Mutation of the conserved glutamate-154 and glutamate-158 in the Nudix box reduced AtDcp2 activity up to 400-fold and showed that AtDcp2 employs the catalytic mechanism conserved amongst Nudix hydrolases. Unlike many Nudix hydrolases, AtDcp2 is refractory to inhibition by fluoride ions. Decapping was dependent on binding to the mRNA moiety rather than to the 7-methyl diguanosine triphosphate cap of the substrate. Mutational analysis of the putative RNA-binding domain confirmed the functional significance of an 11-residue loop region and the conserved Box B.
