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 region of granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) mRNA contributes to the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Degradation is partly mediated by adenosine- uridine-rich sequence elements (ARE), which serve as binding sites for specific proteins. Stabilization of RNA by phytohemagglutinin and concanavalin A treatment is dependent on regulatory sequence elements upstream of ARE. We have performed northwestern blot and filter binding assays using cell extracts and RNA sequences containing or lacking ARE. Murine and human T cell extracts (EL-4 and Jurkat) yielded two specific proteins of 93 and 94 kDa, respectively, that were binding to sequences upstream of ARE. Within this region, the human and murine RNA do not share any obvious sequence identity, yet both are target sites for the binding proteins. The smallest RNA fragments protected by the proteins from RNase A digestion, were 44 in the murine, and 38 ribonucleotides long in the human sequence. The binding activity of the 94 kDa protein derived from human Jurkat cells could be enhanced by phytohemagglutinin. The interaction with regulatory mRNA sequences and the responsiveness to phytohemagglutinin suggests that the proteins are involved in controlling GM-CSF mRNA turnover.
