N4BP1 uses tandem KH domains to associate with EDC4 and mRNA decapping factors in P-bodies.
Article in Communications biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Processing bodies (P-bodies) are cytoplasmic, non-membrane-bound structures involved in mRNA decay. EDC4 serves as a key scaffold for the decapping complex within P-bodies. Here, we demonstrate that N4BP1 interacts with EDC4, as well as with DCP1A, DCP2, and XRN1 - key components of 5'-cap hydrolysis. Endogenous N4BP1 colocalizes with EDC4 in P-bodies, requiring both of its KH domains. Structural analysis revealed that N4BP1 contains a type-I KH fold but lacks the canonical GXXG motif required for single-stranded RNA binding. Deletion or mutation of KH domains non-canonical GXXG motifs disrupts the N4BP1-EDC4 complex. N4BP1 reduces HIV-1 transcript levels independently of its P-body localization or association with decapping components, implying the involvement of other host factors in regulating viral mRNAs. Similarly, for N4PB1-dependend negative regulation of endogenous transcripts in HaCaT keratinocytes, EDC4 is not essential. For both HIV-1 and endogenous transcripts, the reduction is associated with the activity of the NYN domain.
