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

Increasing numbers of protein structures are solved each year, but many of these structures belong to proteins whose sequences are homologous to sequences in the Protein Data Bank. Nevertheless, the structures of homologous proteins belonging to the same family contain useful information because functionally important residues are expected to preserve physico-chemical, structural and energetic features. This information forms the basis of our method, which detects RNA-binding residues of a given RNA-binding protein as those residues that preserve physico-chemical, structural and energetic features in its homologs. Tests on 81 RNA-bound and 35 RNA-free protein structures showed that our method yields a higher fraction of true RNA-binding residues (higher precision) than two structure-based and two sequence-based machine-learning methods. Because the method requires no training data set and has no parameters, its precision does not degrade when applied to 'novel' protein sequences unlike methods that are parameterized for a given training data set. It was used to predict the 'unknown' RNA-binding residues in the C-terminal RNA-binding domain of human CPEB3. The two predicted residues, F430 and F474, were experimentally verified to bind RNA, in particular F430, whose mutation to alanine or asparagine nearly abolished RNA binding. The method has been implemented in a webserver called DR_bind1, which is freely available with no login requirement at http://drbind.limlab.ibms.sinica.edu.tw.
