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

Posttranscriptional gene expression is governed by the interaction of mRNAs with vast families of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and noncoding (nc)RNAs. RBPs and ncRNAs jointly influence all aspects of posttranscriptional metabolism, including pre-mRNA splicing and maturation, mRNA transport, editing, stability, and translation. Given the impact of mRNA-interacting molecules on gene expression, there is great interest in identifying mRNA-binding factors comprehensively. Here, we provide a detailed protocol to tag mRNAs with MS2 hairpins and then affinity-purify trans-binding factors (RBPs, ncRNAs) associated with the MS2-tagged mRNA. This method, termed MS2-TRAP, permits the systematic characterization of ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes formed on a given mRNA of interest. We describe how to prepare the mRNA-MS2 expression vector, purify the MS2-tagged RNP complexes, and detect bound RNAs and RBPs, as well as variations of this methodology to address related questions of RNP biology.
