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 La-motif (LAM) is an ancient and ubiquitous RNA-binding domain defining a superfamily of proteins, which comprises the genuine La proteins and La-related proteins (LARPs). In contrast to La, which binds and stabilizes pre-tRNAs and other RNA polymerase III transcripts, data on function and RNA targets of the LARPs have remained scarce. We have undertaken a global approach to elucidate the previously suggested role of the yeast LARP Slf1p in copper homeostasis. By applying RNA-binding protein immunopurification-microarray (RIP-Chip) analysis, we show that Slf1p and its paralog Sro9p copurify with overlapping sets of hundreds of functionally related mRNAs, including many transcripts coding for ribosomal proteins and histones. Interestingly, among these potential RNA targets were also mRNAs coding for proteins critical for protection of cells against elevated copper concentrations. Mutations introduced in the conserved aromatic patch of the LAM in Slf1p drastically impaired both association with its targets and Slf1-mediated protection of cells against toxic copper concentrations. Furthermore, we show that Slf1p stabilizes copper-related mRNA targets in a LAM-dependent manner. These results provide the first evidence for post-transcriptional regulation of factors/pathways implicated in copper homeostasis by a cytoplasmic RBP.
