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

Unicellular parasite Trypanosoma brucei maintains an elaborate mitochondrial mRNA processing pathway including 3'-5' exonucleolytic trimming of primary precursors, 5' and 3' modifications, and, in most cases, massive U-insertion/deletion editing. Whereas the role of editing in restoring protein coding sequence is apparent, recent developments suggest that terminal modifications are equally critical for generating a stable translationally competent messenger. The enzymatic activities responsible for 5' pyrophosphate hydrolysis, 3' adenylation and uridylation, and 3'-5' decay are positively and negatively regulated by pentatricopeptide repeat-containing (PPR) proteins. These sequence-specific RNA binding factors typically contain arrays of 35-amino acid repeats each of which recognizes a single nucleotide. Here, we introduce a combinatorial CTS affinity tag, which underlies a suite of methods for PPR proteins purification, in vivo RNA binding sites mapping and sub-cellular localization studies. These approaches should be applicable to most trypanosomal RNA binding proteins.
