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

Like most retroviruses and retrotransposons, the retrotransposon Ty3 expresses its pol gene analog (POL3) as a translational fusion to the upstream gag analog (GAG3). The Gag3-Pol3 fusion occurs by frameshifting during translation of the mRNA that encodes the two separate but overlapping ORFs. We showed previously that the shift occurs by out-of-frame binding of a normal aminoacyl-tRNA in the ribosomal A site caused by an aberrant codonoanticodon interaction in the P site. This event is unlike all previously described programmed translational frameshifts because it does not require tRNA slippage between cognate or near-cognate codons in the mRNA. A sequence of 15 nt distal to the frameshift site stimulates frameshifting 7.5-fold. Here we show that the Ty3 stimulator acts as an unstructured region to stimulate frameshifting. Its function depends on strict spacing from the site of frameshifting. Finally, the stimulator increases frameshifting dependent on sense codon-induced pausing, but has no effect on frameshifting dependent on pauses induced by nonsense codons. Complementarity between the stimulator and a portion of the accuracy center of the ribosome, Helix 18, implies that the stimulator may directly disrupt error correction by the ribosome.
