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

A pleckstrin-like receptor for ubiquitin (Pru) domain in hRpn13 binds ubiquitin and proteasome subunit hRpn2. Here, we report a crystal structure of Pru bound to amino acids at the extreme N-terminus (ENT) of recombinant hRpn13. ENT adopts a U shape with native sequence along one side where M1 is buried in a Pru W108-centered pocket, and non-native sequence along the other with main chain hydrogen bonding to a neighboring Pru of the crystal lattice. These ENT:Pru interactions are stable in molecular dynamics simulations even with inclusion of only one Pru. Our findings suggest that hRpn13 can form bidentate interactions with ubiquitinated substrates by binding to both ubiquitin chains and disordered sequences of substrates. Testing this model by solution nuclear magnetic resonance revealed Pru to bind weakly to various peptides, concurrent binding with ubiquitin, and ENT displacement by hRpn2, the latter required for substrate handoff to the proteasome ATPases.
