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 maize RNA-binding protein MA16 is a non-ribosomal nucleolar protein widely distributed in different maize tissues. We have previously shown that the MA16 protein binds preferentially to guanosine- and uridine-rich sequences. As a step towards the identification of specific targets with which MA16 interacts within the cell, we investigated the RNA-binding affinities and several other aspects of the protein by using binding assays and immunochemistry. The MA16 protein showed a wide spectrum of RNA-binding activities with lower affinities to several RNAs that was salt and heparin-sensitive indicative of electrostatic interactions, and higher affinities to particular RNAs including rRNA and translatable mRNA sequences. Among the RNAs found associated with MA16 protein was that encoding MA16 itself. This observation raises the possibility that MA16 gene expression could be self-regulated. Immunoprecipitation studies showed that in vivo MA16 was phosphorylated and that MA16 interacts with RNAs through complex association with several proteins. These results suggest that both phosphorylation and interaction with other proteins may be involved in determining RNA-binding specificities of MA16 in the cell.
