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

Tristetraprolin (TTP) and TIS11d are two human RNA-binding proteins that belong to the CCCH-type tandem zinc finger family. In the RNA-free state, TIS11d coordinates a zinc ion in each of its two fingers, while TTP coordinates a single zinc ion with the N-terminal zinc finger. We have previously identified three residues, located in the C-terminal half of a short α-helix in the second zinc finger, that control how structured the RNA-binding domain is in these two proteins: Y151, L152, and Q153 in TTP and H201, T202, and I203 in TIS11d. Here, we have used molecular dynamics, NMR spectroscopy, and other biochemical methods to investigate the role of these three residues in the stability of the RNA-binding domain. We found that the intrahelical hydrogen bond formed by the T202 hydroxyl group in the C-terminal zinc finger of TIS11d is necessary to allow for π-π stacking between the side chains of a conserved phenylalanine and the zinc-coordinating histidine. We demonstrated that the lack of this hydrogen bond in TTP is responsible for the reduced zinc affinity of the C-terminal zinc finger.
