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

During eukaryotic translation termination, eRF1 responds to three stop codons. However, in ciliates with variant genetic codes, only one or two codons function as a stop signal. To localize the region of ciliate eRF1 implicated in stop codon discrimination, we have constructed ciliate-human hybrid eRF1s by swapping regions of human eRF1 for the equivalent region of ciliate Euplotes eRF1. We have examined the formation of a cross-link between recombinant eRF1s and mRNA analogs containing the photoactivable 4-thiouridine (s(4)U) at the first position of stop and control sense codons. With human eRF1, this cross-link can be detected only when either stop or UGG codons are located in the ribosomal A site. Here we show that the cross-link of the Euplotes-human hybrid eRF1 is restricted to mRNAs containing UAG and UAA codons, and that the entire N-terminal domain of Euplotes eRF1 is involved in discriminating against UGA and UGG. On the basis of these results, we discuss the steps of the selection process that determine the accuracy of stop codon recognition in eukaryotes.
