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

To investigate the function of ribosomal proteins and translational factors in Bacillus subtilis, we developed an in vivo assay system to measure the level of nonsense readthrough by utilizing the LacZ-LacI system. Using the in vivo nonsense readthrough assay system which we developed, together with an in vitro poly(U)-directed cell-free translation assay system, we compared the processibility and translational accuracy of mutant ribosomes with those of the wild-type ribosome. Like Escherichia coli mutants, most S12 mutants exhibited lower frequencies of both UGA readthrough and missense error; the only exception was a mutant (in which Lys-56 was changed to Arg) which exhibited a threefold-higher frequency of readthrough than the wild-type strain. We also isolated several ribosomal ambiguity (ram) mutants from an S12 mutant. These ram mutants and the S12 mutant mentioned above (in which Lys-56 was changed to Arg) exhibited higher UGA readthrough levels. Thus, the mutation which altered Lys-56 to Arg resulted in a ram phenotype in B. subtilis. The efficacy of our in vivo nonsense readthrough assay system was demonstrated in our investigation of the function of ribosomal proteins and translational factors.
