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

ELAV is a neuron-specific RNA-binding protein in Drosophila that is required for development and maintenance of neurons. ELAV regulates alternative splicing of Neuroglian and erect wing (ewg) transcripts, and has been shown to form a multimeric complex on the last ewg intron. The protein has three RNA recognition motifs (RRM1, 2 and 3) with a hinge region between RRM2 and 3. In this study, we used the yeast two-hybrid system to determine the multimerization domain of ELAV. Using deletion constructs, we mapped an interaction activity to a region containing most of RRM3. We found three conserved short sequences in RRM3 that were essential for the interaction, and also sufficient to give the interaction activity to RRM2 when introduced into it. In our in vivo functional assay, a mutation in one of the three sequences showed reduced activity in splicing regulation, underlining the functional importance of multimerization. However, RRM2 with the three RRM3 interaction sequences did not function as RRM3 in vivo, which suggested that multimerization is not the only function of RRM3. Our results are consistent with a model in which RRM3 serves as a bi-functional domain that interacts with both RNA and protein.
