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 Mex67:Mtr2 complex is the principal yeast nuclear export factor for bulk mRNA and also contributes to ribosomal subunit export. Mex67 is a modular protein constructed from four domains (RRM, LRR, NTF2-like and UBA) that have been thought to be joined by flexible linkers like beads on a string, with the RRM and LRR domains binding RNAs and the NTF2-like and UBA domains binding FG-nucleoporins to facilitate movement through nuclear pores. Here, we show that the NTF2-like domain from Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mex67:Mtr2 also contributes to RNA binding. Moreover, the 3.3 Å resolution crystal structure of the Mex67(ΔUBA):Mtr2 complex, supplemented with small angle X-ray scattering data, indicated that the LRR domain has a defined spatial relationship to the Mex67(NTF2L):Mtr2 region. Conversely, the RRM domain and especially the UBA domain are more mobile. The conformation assumed by the LRR and NTF2-like domains results in clusters of positively-charged residues on each becoming arranged to form a continuous interface for binding RNA on the opposite side of the complex to the region that interacts with FG-nucleoporins to facilitate passage through nuclear pores.
