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

Eubacterial ribosomes stalled on defective mRNAs are released through a mechanism referred to as trans-translation, depending on the coordinated actions of small protein B (SmpB) and transfer messenger RNA (tmRNA). A series of tmRNA variants with deletions in each structural domain were produced. Their structures were monitored by enzymatic and chemical probes in vitro, in the presence and absence of SmpB. Dissociation constants between these RNAs and SmpB from Aquifex aeolicus were derived by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) combined with filter binding assays. Three independent experimental evidences, including filter binding assays, SPR, and concentration titrations of the RNA-protein reactivity changes toward structural probes, indicate that the binding site that has the highest affinity for the protein is located outside the tRNA domain, upstream of the internal tag. The minimal tmRNA fragment that contains this high affinity site for SmpB, and also contains another site of lower affinity, includes the tag reading frame and three downstream pseudoknots that form a ring structure in solution.
