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 human glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase is able to bind to its own mRNA. The enzyme contains two binding regions. One is located in the central section of the enzyme which includes its most hydrophilic portion with ten lysine residues in a block of 20 amino acids. This part of the enzyme binds unspecifically to all RNA sequences tested. A second binding region is located in that part of the enzyme which shows high degrees of sequence similarities with the bacterial and yeast glutaminyl-tRNA synthetases, and which is most likely responsible for the charging of tRNA with glutamine. This second RNA binding region specifically interacts with a site in the 3' noncoding region of the synthetase's mRNA. The binding site in the mRNA is characterized by an extended secondary structure that includes elements of the 'identity set' of nucleotides recognized by the enzyme when interacting with tRNA. We discuss possible physiological implications of the interaction between glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase and its mRNA.
