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 half-a-tetratricopeptide (HAT) repeat motif is of interest because it is found exclusively in proteins that are involved in RNA metabolism. Little is known about structure-function relationships in this class of repeat motif. Here, we present the results of a combined bioinformatics, modeling and mutagenesis study of the HAT domain of Utp6. We have derived a new HAT consensus, delineated its structure-defining residues and, by homology modeling, have placed these residues in a structural context. By considering only HAT motifs from Utp6 proteins, we identified residues that are shared by, and unique to, only this subset of HAT motifs, suggesting a key functional role. Employing both random and directed mutagenesis of the HAT domain in yeast Utp6, we have identified residues whose mutation results in loss of function. By examining these residues in the context of the homology model, we have delineated those that act by perturbing structure and those that more likely have a direct effect on function. Importantly, the residues we predict to have a direct effect on function map together on the tertiary structure, thus defining a potential functional interaction surface.
