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

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) provides a molecular platform for numerous protein-protein interactions in DNA metabolism. A large number of proteins associated with PCNA have a well characterized sequence termed the PCNA-interacting protein box motif (PIPM). Another PCNA-interacting sequence termed the AlkB homologue 2 PCNA-interacting motif (APIM), comprising the five consensus residues (K/R)-(F/Y/W)-(L/I/V/A)-(L/I/V/A)-(K/R), has also been identified in various proteins. In contrast to that with PIPM, the PCNA-APIM interaction is less well understood. Here, the crystal structure of PCNA bound to a peptide carrying an APIM consensus sequence, RFLVK, was determined and structure-based interaction analysis was performed. The APIM peptide binds to the PIPM-binding pocket on PCNA in a similar way to PIPM. The phenylalanine and leucine residues within the APIM consensus sequence and a hydrophobic residue that precedes the APIM consensus sequence are crucially involved in interactions with the hydrophobic pocket of PCNA. This interaction is essential for overall binding. These results provide a structural basis for regulation of the PCNA interaction and might aid in the development of specific inhibitors of this interaction.
