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

Mature tRNA(His) has at its 5'-terminus an extra guanylate, designated as G(-1). This is the major recognition element for histidyl-tRNA synthetase (HisRS) to permit acylation of tRNA(His) with histidine. However, it was reported that tRNA(His) of a subgroup of α-proteobacteria, including Caulobacter crescentus, lacks the critical G(-1) residue. Here we show that recombinant C. crescentus HisRS allowed complete histidylation of a C. crescentus tRNA(His) transcript (lacking G(-1)). The addition of G(-1) did not improve aminoacylation by C. crescentus HisRS. However, mutations in the tRNA(His) anticodon caused a drastic loss of in vitro histidylation, and mutations of bases A73 and U72 also reduced charging. Thus, the major recognition elements in C. crescentus tRNA(His) are the anticodon, the discriminator base and U72, which are recognized by the divergent (based on sequence similarity) C. crescentus HisRS. Transplantation of these recognition elements into an Escherichia coli tRNA(His) template, together with addition of base U20a, created a competent substrate for C. crescentus HisRS. These results illustrate how a conserved tRNA recognition pattern changed during evolution. The data also uncovered a divergent orthogonal HisRS/tRNA(His) pair.
