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 La-related proteins (LaRPs) are an ancient superfamily of RNA-binding proteins orchestrating the major fates of RNA, from processing and maturation to regulation of mRNA translation. LaRPs are instrumental in modulating complex assemblies where the RNA is bound, folded, processed, escorted and presented to the functional effectors often through recruitment of protein partners. This intricate web of protein-RNA and protein-protein interactions is enabled by the modular nature of the LaRPs, comprising several structured domains connected by flexible linkers, and other sequences lacking recognizable folded motifs. Recent structures, together with biochemical and biophysical studies, have provided insights into how each LaRP family has evolved unique mechanisms of RNA recognition, not only through the conserved RNA-binding unit, the La-module, but also mediated by other family-specific motifs. Furthermore, in a series of unexpected twists and turns, they have revealed that the dynamic and conformational interplay of multi-structured domains and disordered regions operate in unison to achieve RNA substrate discrimination. This review proposes a perspective of our current knowledge of the structure-function relationship of the LaRP superfamily.
