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 3'-untranslated regions of many labile transcripts contain AU-rich sequences that serve as cis determinants of mRNA stability and translational efficiency. Using a photocrosslinking technique, our laboratory has previously defined three cytoplasmic RNA-binding activities specific for the AUUUA multimers found in the 3'-untranslated regions of lymphokine mRNAs. One of these activities, AU-A, has an apparent molecular mass of 34 kDa, is constitutively expressed in both primary T cells and the Jurkat T cell leukemia line, and binds to a variety of U-rich RNA sequences. Previous studies had shown that AU-A is more prevalent in the nucleus than the cytoplasm, raising the possibility that AU-A is really a nuclear RNA-binding activity that is found in cytoplasmic extracts because of nuclear leakage during cell fractionation. We now show that AU-A shuttles between the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Our results indicate that AU-A is a candidate protein component of ribonucleoprotein complexes that participate in nucleocytoplasmic transport of mRNA and cytoplasmic mRNA metabolism. The properties of AU-A activity are similar to those of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNP A1). However, using monoclonal antibodies to hnRNP A1 and protease digestion patterns, we show that AU-A activity and hnRNP A1 protein are distinct. These studies have also allowed us to define a fourth RNA-binding activity of apparent molecular mass 41 kDa with specificity for AUUUA multimers. This activity is restricted to the nucleus and contains the hnRNP C protein.
