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

Translin is a highly conserved mammalian RNA and DNA-binding protein involved in DNA recombination and RNA trafficking. Crystal structures of mouse and human translin have been solved, but do not provide information about nucleic acid binding or recognition. Translin has a partner protein, translin-associated factor x (trax), which is believed to regulate translin's subcellular locale and affinity for certain RNA and DNA sequences. Here we present a comparative study of recombinant translin and translin-trax complex binding to specific RNA and DNA sequences. It was observed that translin preferentially binds to G-rich RNA sequences whereas translin-trax preferentially binds G-rich DNA sequences. Translin can bind mRNA sequences with sub-micromolar K(d) values, and the complex with trax can bind G-rich DNA with similar affinity. We conclude that trax acts to regulate translin's RNA and DNA binding affinities as part of a cellular RNA trafficking mechanism.
