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

Ultraviolent crosslinking is a key experimental step in the numerous protocols that have been developed for capturing and dissecting RNA-protein interactions in living cells. UV crosslinking covalently stalls dynamic interactions between RNAs and the directly contacting RNA-binding proteins and enables stringent denaturing downstream purification conditions needed for the enrichment and biochemical analysis of RNA-protein complexes. Despite its popularity, conventional 254 nm UV crosslinking possesses a set of intrinsic drawbacks, with the low photochemical efficiency being the central caveat. Here we show that genetically encoded photoreactive unnatural amino acids bearing a dialkyl diazirine photoreactive group can address this problem. Using the human iron regulatory protein 1 (IRP1) as a model RNA-binding protein, we show that the photoreactive amino acids can be introduced into the protein without diminishing its RNA-binding properties. A sevenfold increase in the crosslinking efficiency compared to conventional 254 nm UV crosslinking was achieved using the diazirine-based unnatural amino acid DiAzKs. This finding opens an avenue for new applications of the unnatural amino acids in studying RNA-protein interactions.
