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

A1916 in 23S rRNA is located in one of the major intersubunit bridges of the 70S ribosome. Deletion of A1916 disrupts the intersubunit bridge B2a, promotes misreading of the genetic code and is lethal. In a genetic selection for suppressor mutations, two base substitutions in 16S rRNA were recovered that restored viability and also allowed expression of DeltaA1916-associated capreomycin resistance. These mutations were G1048A in helix 34 and U1471C in helix 44. Restoration of function is incomplete, however, and the double mutants are slow-growing, defective in subunit association and support high levels of translational errors. In contrast, none of these parameters is affected by the single 16S suppressor mutations. U1471C likely affects another intersubunit contact, bridge B6, suggesting that interactions between different bridges and cross-talk between subunits contributes to ribosomal function.
