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

We have identified a protein in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cell extracts that specifically binds the single-stranded (ss) Chlamydomonas G-strand telomere sequence (TTTTAGGG)n. This protein, called G-strand binding protein (GBP), binds DNA with two or more ss TTTTAGGG repeats. A single polypeptide (M(r) 34 kDa) in Chlamydomonas extracts binds (TTTTAGGG)n, and a cDNA encoding this G-strand binding protein was identified by its expression of a G-strand binding activity. The cDNA (GBP1) sequence predicts a protein product (Gbp1p) that includes two domains with extensive homology to RNA recognition motifs (RRMs) and a region rich in glycine, alanine and arginine. Antibody raised against a peptide within Gbp1p reacted with both the 34 kDa polypeptide and bound G-strand DNA-protein complexes in gel retardation assays, indicating that GBP1 encodes GBP. Unlike vertebrate heteronuclear ribonucleoproteins, GBP does not bind the cognate telomere RNA sequence UUUUAGGG in gel retardation, North-Western or competition assays. Thus, GBP is a new type of candidate telomere binding protein that binds, in vitro, to ss G-strand telomere DNA, the primer for telomerase, and has domains that have homology to RNA binding domains in other proteins.
