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

RNA-protein (RNP) complexes play significant roles in the fate and expression of mRNAs. The prolonged half-life of human alpha-globin mRNA, a major determinant of normal erythroid differentiation, is dependent on the assembly of a sequence-specific 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) RNP (alpha-complex). We demonstrate that the stability of murine alpha-globin mRNA is controlled by a parallel mechanism. Unexpectedly, however, the respective 3'UTR RNP complexes that stabilize the h(alpha)- and m(alpha)-globin mRNAs differ in structure. While the cis determinants in both species are encoded in polypyrimidine tracks, the human determinant is C-rich (CCUCC motif) while the mouse alpha-3'UTR consists of an equal distribution of Cs and Us (CCUUCU motif). The protein components of the corresponding human and murine alpha-complexes differ in a complementary manner: the previously described 39 kDa poly(C) binding protein (PCBP) present in the human alpha-complex is replaced in the mouse alpha-complex by a 48 kDa cytoplasmic poly(CU) binding protein (CUBP). These results reveal that drift in the primary sequences of the alpha-globin mRNA 3'UTR polypyrimidine tracks in a comparison between mouse and human is paralleled by an alteration in the composition of the corresponding trans-acting components. Surprisingly, these structurally distinct complexes appear to perform the identical function of stabilizing the corresponding alpha-globin mRNAs.
