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

RNA-protein interactions are crucial for most biological processes in all organisms. However, it appears that the complexity of RNA-based regulation increases with the complexity of the organism, creating additional regulatory circuits, the scope of which is only now being revealed. It is becoming apparent that previously unappreciated features, such as disordered structural regions in proteins or non-coding regions in DNA leading to higher plasticity and pliability in RNA-protein complexes, are in fact essential for complex, precise and fine-tuned regulation. This review addresses the issue of the role of RNA-protein interactions in generating eukaryotic complexity, focusing on the newly characterized disordered RNA-binding motifs, moonlighting of metabolic enzymes, RNA-binding proteins interactions with different RNA species and their participation in regulatory networks of higher order.
