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-binding proteins play a major role in regulating mRNA metabolism in chloroplasts. In this work we characterized two proteins, of 43 and 47 kDa, which bind to the spinach psbA mRNA 5' untranslated region (psbA encoding the D1 protein of photosystem II). The 43 kDa protein, which is present in the stroma and in membranes, co-sediments with a complex of 68S. It was purified, and the N-terminal sequence was determined. Upon homology search it was identified as the chloroplast homologue of the Escherichia coli ribosomal protein S1. The 47 kDa protein, which, in contrast with the 43 kDa protein, sediments with a small sedimentation coefficient, is only detected in the stromal fraction. It is soluble in an uncomplexed form. By deletion analysis, an element within the psbA mRNA 5' untranslated region was identified that is necessary but not sufficient for binding of stromal proteins. The 'central protein binding element' ranges from nucleotide -49 to -9 of the psbA mRNA 5' untranslated region. It comprises the Shine-Dalgarno-like GGAG motif and, 7 nucleotides upstream, an endonucleolytic cleavage site involved in psbA mRNA degradation in vitro . The mechanistic impacts of this region in relation to RNA-binding proteins are discussed.
