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 U1A and U2B″ proteins are components of the U1 and U2 snRNPs, respectively, where they bind to snRNA stemloops. While localization of U1A and U2B″ to their respective snRNP is a well-known phenomenon, binding of U2B″ to U2 snRNA is typically thought to be accompanied by the U2A' protein. The molecular mechanisms that lead to formation of the RNA/U2B″/U2A' complex and its localization to the U2 snRNP are investigated here, using a combination of in vitro RNA-protein and protein-protein fluorescence and isothermal titration calorimetry binding experiments. We find that U2A' protein binds to U2B″ with nanomolar affinity but binds to U1A with only micromolar affinity. In addition, there is RNA-dependent cooperativity (linkage) between protein-protein and protein-RNA binding. The unique combination of tight binding and cooperativity ensures that the U2A'/U2B″ complex is partitioned only to the U2 snRNP.
