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 signal recognition particle (SRP) is a ubiquitous cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein complex required for the cotranslational targeting of proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). In eukaryotes, SRP has to arrest the elongation of the nascent chains during targeting to ensure efficient translocation of the preprotein, and this function of SRP is dependent on SRP9/14. Here we present the results of a mutational study on the human protein h9/14 that identified and characterized regions and single residues essential for elongation arrest activity. Effects of the mutations were assessed both in cell-free translation/translocation assays and in cultured mammalian cells. We identified two patches of basic amino acid residues that are essential for activity, whereas the internal loop of SRP14 was found to be dispensable. One patch of important basic residues comprises the previously identified basic pentapetide KRDKK, which can be substituted by four lysines without loss of function. The other patch includes three lysines in the solvent-accessible alpha2 of h9. All essential residues are located in proximity in SRP9/14 and their basic character suggests that they serve as a positively charged platform for interactions with ribosomal RNA. In addition, they can all be lysines consistent with the hypothesis that they recognize their target(s) via electrostatic contacts, most likely with the phosphate backbone, as opposed to contacts with specific bases.
