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

Studies in eukaryotes and prokaryotes have revealed that gene expression is not only controlled through altering the rate of transcription but also through varying rates of translation and mRNA decay. Indeed, the expression level of a protein is strongly affected by the steady state level of its mRNA. RNA decay can, along with transcription, play an important role in regulating gene expression by fine-tuning the steady state level of a given transcript and affecting its subsequent decoding during translation. Alterations in mRNA stability can in turn have dramatic effects on cell physiology and as a consequence the fitness and survival of the organism. Recent evidence suggests that mRNA decay can be regulated in response to environmental cues in order to enable the organism to adapt to its changing surroundings. Bacteria have evolved unique post transcriptional control mechanisms to enact such adaptive responses through: 1) general mRNA decay, 2) differential mRNA degradation using small non-coding RNAs (sRNAs), and 3) selective mRNA degradation using the tmRNA quality control system. Here, we review our current understanding of these molecular mechanisms, gleaned primarily from studies of the model gram negative organism Escherichia coli, that regulate the stability and degradation of normal and defective transcripts.
