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

Ribosomal RNA synthesis in Escherichia coli involves a transcription complex, in which RNA polymerase is modified by a signal element on the transcript, Nus factors A, B, E and G, ribosomal protein S4 and inositol mono-phosphatase SuhB. This complex is resistant to ρ-dependent termination and facilitates ribosomal RNA folding, maturation and subunit assembly. The functional contributions of SuhB and their structural bases are presently unclear. We show that SuhB directly binds the RNA signal element and the C-terminal AR2 domain of NusA, and we delineate the atomic basis of the latter interaction by macromolecular crystallography. SuhB recruitment to a ribosomal RNA transcription complex depends on the RNA signal element but not on the NusA AR2 domain. SuhB in turn is required for stable integration of the NusB/E dimer into the complex. In vitro transcription assays revealed that SuhB is crucial for delaying or suppressing ρ-dependent termination, that SuhB also can reduce intrinsic termination, and that SuhB-AR2 contacts contribute to these effects. Together, our results reveal functions of SuhB during ribosomal RNA synthesis and delineate some of the underlying molecular interactions.
