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

High-affinity binding of a set of proteins with specificity for the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chloroplast psbA mRNA correlates with light-regulated translational activation of this message. We have isolated a cDNA encoding the main psbA RNA binding protein, RB47, and identified this protein as a member of the poly(A) binding protein family. Poly(A) binding proteins are a family of eukaryotic, cytoplasmic proteins thought to bind poly(A) tails of mRNAs and play a role in translational regulation. In vitro translation of RNA transcribed from the RB47 cDNA produces a precursor protein that is efficiently transported into the chloroplast and processed to the mature 47-kDa protein. RB47 expressed and purified from Escherichia coli binds to the psbA 5' UTR with similar specificity and affinity as RB47 isolated from C. reinhardtii chloroplasts. The identification of a normally cytoplasmic translation factor in the chloroplast suggests that the prokaryotic-like chloroplast translation machinery utilizes a eukaryotic-like initiation factor to regulate the translation of a key chloroplast mRNA. These data also suggest that poly(A) binding proteins may play a wider role in translation regulation than previously appreciated.
