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

Serine/threonine protein kinase 19 (STK19) has been reported to phosphorylate and activate oncogenic NRAS to promote melanomagenesis. However, concerns have been raised about whether STK19 is a kinase. STK19 has also been identified as a putative factor involved in the transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) pathway. In this study, we determined the 1.32 Å crystal structure of human STK19. The structure reveals that STK19 is a winged helix (WH) protein consisting of three tandem WH domains. STK19 binds more strongly to double-stranded DNA and RNA (dsDNA/dsRNA) than to ssDNA. A positively charged patch centered on helix WH3-H1 contributes to dsDNA binding, which is unusual because the WH domain typically uses helix H3 as the recognition helix. Importantly, mutations of the conserved residues in the basic patch, K186N, R200W, and R215W, are found in cancer patients, and these mutations compromise STK19 DNA binding. Other mutations have been predicted to produce a similar effect, including two mutations that disrupt the nuclear localization signal (NLS) motif. These mutations may indirectly impact the DNA binding capacity of STK19 by interfering with its nuclear localization.
