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 ykkC RNA motif was a long-standing orphan riboswitch candidate that has recently been proposed to encompass at least five distinct bacterial riboswitch classes. Most ykkC RNAs belong to the subtype 1 group, which are guanidine-I riboswitches that regulate the expression of guanidine-specific carboxylase and transporter proteins. The remaining ykkC RNAs have been organized into at least four major categories called subtypes 2a-2d. Subtype 2a RNAs are riboswitches that sense the bacterial alarmone ppGpp and typically regulate amino acid biosynthesis genes. Subtype 2b riboswitches sense the purine biosynthetic intermediate PRPP and frequently partner with guanine riboswitches to regulate purine biosynthesis genes. In this study, we examined ykkC subtype 2c RNAs, which are found upstream of genes encoding hydrolase enzymes that cleave the phosphoanhydride linkages of nucleotide substrates. Subtype 2c representatives mostly recognize adenosine and cytidine 5'-diphosphate molecules in either their ribose or deoxyribose forms (ADP, dADP, CDP, and dCDP). Other nucleotide-containing compounds, especially nucleoside 5'-triphosphates, are strongly rejected by some members of this putative riboswitch class. High ligand concentrations in vivo are predicted to turn on expression of hydrolase enzymes, which presumably function to balance cellular nucleotide pools. These results further showcase the striking functional diversity derived from the structural scaffold shared among all ykkC motif RNAs, which has been adapted to sense at least five different types of natural ligands. Moreover, riboswitches for nucleoside diphosphates provide additional examples of the numerous partnerships observed between natural RNA aptamers and nucleotide-derived ligands, including metabolites, coenzymes, and signaling molecules.
