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-binding proteins (RBPs) are typical proteins that bind RNA through single or multiple RNA-binding domains (RBDs). These proteins have a functional role in determining the fate or function of the bound RNAs. A few hundred RBPs were known through in silico prediction based on computational assignment informed by structural similarity and the presence of classical RBDs. However, RBPs lacking such conventional RBDs were omitted. Owing to the recent mRNA interactome capture technology based on UV-crosslinking and fixing proteins to their mRNA targets followed by affinity capture purification and identification of RBPs by tandem mass spectrometry, several hundreds of RBPs have recently been discovered. These proteome-wide studies have colossally increased the number of proteins implicated in RNA binding and unearthed hundreds of novel RBPs lacking classical RBDs, such as proteins involved in intermediary metabolism. These discoveries provide wide insights into the post-transcriptional gene regulation players and their role in plant signaling, such as environmental stress conditions. In this review, novel discoveries of RBPs are explored, particularly on the evolving knowledge of their role in stress responses. The molecular functions of these RBPs, particularly focusing on those that do not have classical RBDs, are also elucidated at the systems level.
