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

Structural information about protein-RNA complexes supports the understanding of crucial recognition processes in the cell, and it can allow the development of high affinity ligands to interfere with these processes. In this respect, the identification of amino acid hotspots is particularly important. In contrast to protein-protein interactions, in silico approaches for protein-RNA interactions lag behind in their development. Herein, we report an analysis of available protein-RNA structures. We assembled a data set of 322 crystal and NMR structures and analyzed them regarding interface properties. In addition, we describe a computational alanine-scanning approach which provides interaction scores for interface amino acids, allowing the identification of potential hotspots in protein-RNA interfaces. We have made the computational approach available as an online tool, which allows interaction scores to be calculated for any structure of a protein-RNA complex by uploading atomic coordinates to the PRI HotScore web server (https://pri-hotscore.labs.vu.nl).
