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

Tethered hydroxyl-radical probing has been used to determine the orientation of binding of polypyrimidine tract-binding protein (PTB) to the poliovirus type 1 (Mahoney) (PV-1(M)) internal ribosome entry site/segment (IRES)-the question of which RNA-binding domain (RBD) binds to which sites on the IRES. The results show that under conditions in which PTB strongly stimulates IRES activity, a single PTB is binding to the IRES, a finding which was confirmed by mass spectrometry of PTB/IRES complexes. RBDs1 and 2 interact with the basal part of the Domain V irregular stem loop, very close to the binding site of eIF4G, and RBDs3 and 4 interact with the single-stranded regions flanking Domain V. The binding of PTB is subtly altered in the presence of the central domain (p50) of eIF4G, and p50 binding is likewise modified if PTB is present. This suggests that PTB stimulates PV-1(M) IRES activity by inducing eIF4G to bind in the optimal position and orientation to promote internal ribosome entry, which, in PV-1(M), is at an AUG triplet 30 nt downstream of the base of Domain V.
