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 RNA recognition motif (RRM) is the most prevalent RNA binding domain in eukaryotes and is involved in most RNA metabolism processes. Single RRM domains have a limited RNA specificity and affinity and tend to be accompanied by other RNA binding domains, frequently additional RRMs that contribute to an avidity effect. Within multi-RRM proteins, the most common arrangement are tandem RRMs, with two domains connected by a variable linker. Despite their prevalence, little is known about the features that lead to specific arrangements, and especially the role of the connecting linker. In this work, we present a novel and robust way to investigate the relative domain orientation in multi-domain proteins using inter-domain vectors referenced to a stable secondary structure element. We apply this method to tandem RRM domains and cluster experimental tandem RRM structures according to their inter-domain and linker-domain contacts, and report how this correlates with their orientation. By extending our analysis to AlphaFold2 predicted structures, with particular attention to the inter-domain predicted aligned error, we identify new orientations not reported experimentally. Our analysis provides novel insights across a range of tandem RRM orientations that may help for the design of proteins with a specific RNA binding mode.
