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

Dynamic RNA-protein interactions underpin numerous molecular control mechanisms in biology. However, relatively little is known about the kinetic landscape of protein interactions with full-length RNAs. The extent to which interaction kinetics vary for the same RNA element across the transcriptome and the molecular determinants of variability therefore remain poorly defined. Moreover, it is unclear how one protein-RNA interaction might be transduced by RNA to kinetically impact a second. We report a parallelized, real-time single-molecule fluorescence assay for protein interaction kinetics on eukaryotic mRNA populations obtained from cells. We observed ∼100-fold heterogeneity for interactions of the translation initiation factor eIF4E with the universal mRNA 5' cap structure, dominated by steric effects on barrier-height variability for association. We also found that an RNA helicase, eIF4A, independently accelerated eIF4E-cap association. These data support a kinetic mechanism for how mRNA can determine the sensitivity of its translation to reduction in cellular eIF4E concentrations. They also support the view that global RNA structure significantly modulates protein-RNA interaction dynamics and can facilitate real-time communication between protein interactions at distinct sites.
