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 C-terminal domain of methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MetRS-C) from Nanoarchaeum equitans is homologous to a tRNA-binding protein consisting of 111 amino acids (Trbp111) from Aquifex aeolicus. The crystal structure of MetRS-C showed that it existed as a homodimer, and that each monomer possessed an oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding fold (OB-fold). Analysis using a quartz crystal microbalance indicated that MetRS-C freshly isolated from N. equitans was bound to tRNA. However, binding of the split 3'-half tRNA species was stronger than that of the 5'-half species. The T-loop and the 3'-end regions of the split 3'-half tRNA were found to be responsible for the binding. The minimum structure for binding to MetRS-C might be a minihelix-like stem-loop with single-stranded 3'-terminus. After successive duplications of such a small hairpin structure with the assistance of a Trbp-like structure, the interaction of the T-loop region of the 3'-half with a Trbp-like structure could have been evolutionarily replaced by RNA-RNA interactions, along with many combinational tertiary interactions, to form the modern tRNA structure.
