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

In eukaryotic cells, dozens to hundreds of different mRNAs are localized by specialized motor-dependent transport complexes. One of the best-studied examples for directional mRNA transport is the localization of ASH1 mRNA in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. For transport, ASH1 mRNA is bound by the unusual RNA-binding protein She2p. Although previous results indicated that She2p forms dimers required for RNA binding and transcript localization, it remained unclear if the dimer constitutes the minimal RNA-binding unit assembling in vivo. By using analytical ultracentrifugation we found that She2p forms larger oligomeric complexes in solution. We also identified a point mutant that shows impaired oligomer formation. Size-exclusion chromatography suggests that She2p forms defined tetramers at physiological concentrations. Subsequent structural studies by small-angle X-ray scattering confirmed this finding and demonstrated that the previously observed She2p dimers interact in a head-to-head conformation to form an elongated tetrameric complex. This She2p tetramer suggests the generation of large continuous RNA-binding surfaces at both sides of the complex. Biochemical studies and immunostaining of cells confirmed that She2p tetramer formation is required for RNA binding, efficient mRNP assembly, and mRNA localization in vivo. Our finding on She2p tetramerization resolves previously raised questions on complex formation and mRNP function.
