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

Stalled bacterial ribosomes are freed by transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA). With the help of small protein B (SmpB), protein synthesis restarts and tmRNA adds a tag to the stalled protein for destruction. The conformation of a 347 nt long tmRNA from a thermophile and its interactions with SmpB were monitored using structural probes. The RNA is highly folded, including the reading frame, with <30% of unpaired residues. Footprints between SmpB and tmRNA are in the elbow of the tRNA domain, in some pseudoknots including one essential for function and in the lower part of the stem exiting the tRNA domain. The footprints outside the tRNA domain are scattered onto the tmRNA sequence, but form a cluster onto its tertiary structure derived from cryo-EM data. Some footprints flank the first triplet to be translated in tmRNA, suggesting that SmpB participates in the insertion of the tmRNA-encoded reading frame into the decoding center. To discriminate between a conformational rearrangement of tmRNA and independent binding sites, surface plasmon resonance was used and has identified three independent binding sites of SmpB on the RNA, including the site on the tRNA domain. Accordingly, SmpB is proposed to move on the tmRNA scaffold during trans-translation.
