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

Bacterial translation initiation factor IF2 complexed with GTP binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit, promotes ribosomal binding of fMet-tRNA, and favors the joining of the small and large ribosomal subunits yielding a 70S initiation complex ready to enter the translation elongation phase. Within the IF2 molecule subdomain G3, which is believed to play an important role in the IF2-30S interaction, is positioned between the GTP-binding G2 and the fMet-tRNA binding C-terminal subdomains. In this study the solution structure of subdomain G3 of Geobacillus stearothermophilus IF2 has been elucidated. G3 forms a core structure consisting of two β-sheets with each four anti-parallel strands, followed by a C-terminal α-helix. In line with its role as linker between G3 and subdomain C1, this helix has no well-defined orientation but is endowed with a dynamic nature. The structure of the G3 core is that of a typical OB-fold module, similar to that of the corresponding subdomain of Thermus thermophilus IF2, and to that of other known RNA-binding modules such as IF2-C2, IF1 and subdomains II of elongation factors EF-Tu and EF-G. Structural comparisons have resulted in a model that describes the interaction between IF2-G3 and the 30S ribosomal subunit.
