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 (RPBs) are deeply involved in fundamental cellular processes in bacteria and are vital for their survival. Despite this, few studies have so far been dedicated to direct and global identification of bacterial RBPs. We have adapted the RNA interactome capture (RIC) technique, originally developed for eukaryotic systems, to globally identify RBPs in bacteria. RIC takes advantage of the base pairing potential of poly(A) tails to pull-down RNA-protein complexes. Overexpressing poly(A) polymerase I in Escherichia coli drastically increased transcriptome-wide RNA polyadenylation, enabling pull-down of crosslinked RNA-protein complexes using immobilized oligo(dT) as bait. With this approach, we identified 169 putative RBPs, roughly half of which are already annotated as RNA-binding. We experimentally verified the RNA-binding ability of a number of uncharacterized RBPs, including YhgF, which is exceptionally well conserved not only in bacteria, but also in archaea and eukaryotes. We identified YhgF RNA targets in vivo using CLIP-seq, verified specific binding in vitro, and reveal a putative role for YhgF in regulation of gene expression. Our findings present a simple and robust strategy for RBP identification in bacteria, provide a resource of new bacterial RBPs, and lay the foundation for further studies of the highly conserved RBP YhgF.
