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

Escherichia coli cell viability during starvation is strongly dependent on the expression of the rpoS gene, encoding the RpoS sigma subunit of RNA polymerase. RpoS abundance has been reported to be regulated at many levels, including transcription initiation, translation, and protein stability. The regulatory RNA SsrA (or tmRNA) has both tRNA and mRNA activities, relieving ribosome stalling and cotranslationally tagging proteins. We report here that SsrA is needed for the correct high-level translation of RpoS. The ATP-dependent protease Lon was also found to negatively affect RpoS translation, but only at low temperature. We suggest that SsrA may indirectly improve RpoS translation by limiting ribosome stalling and depletion of some component of the translation machinery.
