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

tRNA-isopentenyltransferase (tRNA-IPT) catalyses the addition of N6-isopentenyladenosine (i6A) on residue 37 of tRNA molecules that bind codons starting with uridine. Post-transcriptional modifications of tRNA molecules have been demonstrated to be essential in maintaining the correct reading frame of the translational machinery, thus improving fidelity and efficiency of protein synthesis. We show here that the human tRNA-isopentenyltransferase (TRIT1) gene encodes a complex pattern of mRNA variants through alternative splicing in both normal and tumor lung tissue and that the nonsense suppressor activity of tRNA-IPT is maintained only in the full-length mRNA isoform, as revealed by gene complementation in yeast. Expression of the full-length transcript was down-regulated 6-14-fold in lung adenocarcinomas as compared to normal lung tissue. A549 lung cancer cells transfected to express the functional TRIT1 gene formed significantly smaller colonies with reduced scattering on the edges and had only limited ability to induce tumors in nude mice. Our findings raise the possibility of TRIT1 as a candidate lung tumor suppressor.
