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

Gemin5 binds specifically to the small nuclear RNA (snRNA)-defining small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) code sequence and is essential, together with other components of the survival of motor neurons (SMN) complex, for the biogenesis of snRNPs, the major constituents of spliceosomes. We show that this binding is mediated by Gemin5's WD repeat domain, a common domain not previously known to bind RNA independently. The entire WD repeat domain, comprising 13 WD motifs, is both necessary and sufficient for sequence-specific, high-affinity binding of Gemin5 to its RNA targets. Using an RNA-mediated hydroxyl radical probing method and mass spectrometry, we mapped a discrete region of the WD repeat domain that contacts snRNAs and demonstrated by mutagenesis that specific amino acids in this region are crucial for Gemin5-snRNA binding. The WD repeat domain is thus a previously undescribed RNA binding domain, and we suggest that the presence of WD repeats should be considered as predictive of potential function in RNA binding.
