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 splicing of mRNA requires a group of essential factors known as SR proteins, which participate in the maturation of the spliceosome. These proteins contain one or two RNA recognition motifs and a C-terminal domain rich in Arg-Ser repeats (RS domain). SR proteins are phosphorylated at numerous serines in the RS domain by the SR-specific protein kinase (SRPK) family of protein kinases. RS domain phosphorylation is necessary for entry of SR proteins into the nucleus, and may also play important roles in alternative splicing, mRNA export, and other processing events. Although SR proteins are polyphosphorylated in vivo, the mechanism underlying this complex reaction has only been recently elucidated. Human alternative splicing factor [serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 1 (SRSF1)], a prototype for the SR protein family, is regiospecifically phosphorylated by SRPK1, a post-translational modification that controls cytoplasmic-nuclear localization. SRPK1 binds SRSF1 with unusually high affinity, and rapidly modifies about 10-12 serines in the N-terminal region of the RS domain (RS1), using a mechanism that incorporates sequential, C-terminal to N-terminal phosphorylation and several processive steps. SRPK1 employs a highly dynamic feeding mechanism for RS domain phosphorylation in which the N-terminal portion of RS1 is initially bound to a docking groove in the large lobe of the kinase domain. Upon subsequent rounds of phosphorylation, this N-terminal segment translocates into the active site, and a β-strand in RNA recognition motif 2 unfolds and occupies the docking groove. These studies indicate that efficient regiospecific phosphorylation of SRSF1 is the result of a contoured binding cavity in SRPK1, a lengthy Arg-Ser repetitive segment in the RS domain, and a highly directional processing mechanism.
