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

Recent studies of prokaryotic ribosomes have dramatically increased our knowledge of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) structure, functional centers, and their interactions with antibiotics. However, much less is known about how rRNA function differs between prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes. The core decoding sites are identical in yeast and human 18S rRNAs, suggesting that insights obtained in studies with yeast rRNA mutants can provide information about ribosome function in both species. In this study, we examined the importance of key nucleotides of the 18S rRNA decoding site on ribosome function and aminoglycoside susceptibility in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells expressing homogeneous populations of mutant ribosomes. We found that residues G577, A1755, and A1756 (corresponding to Escherichia coli residues G530, A1492, and A1493, respectively) are essential for cell viability. We also found that residue G1645 (A1408 in E. coli) and A1754 (G1491 in E. coli) both make significant and distinct contributions to aminoglycoside resistance. Furthermore, we found that mutations at these residues do not alter the basal level of translational accuracy, but influence both paromomycin-induced misreading of sense codons and readthrough of stop codons. This study represents the most comprehensive mutational analysis of the eukaryotic decoding site to date, and suggests that many fundamental features of decoding site function are conserved between prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
