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 stability of the psbA mRNA increases during barley chloroplast development eventually reaching a half-life of over 40 h. Translation of psbA mRNA is also regulated in a complex way. Sequence-specific RNA binding proteins may modulate the translation or stability of the psbA mRNA during chloroplast development. UV cross-linking assays revealed that chloroplast proteins of 37 and 38 kDA bind specifically to the 3' end of psbA transcripts and not to the 5' end of psbA or rbcL transcripts. The two RNA-binding proteins were partially purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by heparin agarose chromatography. Deletion and site-directed mutation analysis demonstrated that the 37/38RNPs bind in a 30 nucleotide region immediately downstream from the translation termination codon and upstream of sequences capable of forming a stem-loop structure in the 3' end of psbA transcripts. Single-base changes that diminish the binding of the 37RNP also reduce binding of the 38RNP suggesting that these proteins may bind as a heterodimer. The 37/38RNPs that bind within the 3' end of psbA transcripts could modulate transcription termination, translation or mRNA stability.
