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

The ribosome decoding center is rich in modified rRNA nucleotides and little is known about their effects. Here, we examine the consequences of systematically deleting eight pseudouridine and 2'-O-methylation modifications in the yeast decoding center. Loss of most modifications individually has no apparent effect on cell growth. However, deletions of 2-3 modifications in the A- and P-site regions can cause (1) reduced growth rates (approximately 15%-50% slower); (2) reduced amino acid incorporation rates (14%-24% slower); and (3) a significant deficiency in free small subunits. Negative and positive interference effects were observed, as well as strong positional influences. Notably, blocking formation of a hypermodified pseudouridine in the P region delays the onset of the final cleavage event in 18S rRNA formation ( approximately 60% slower), suggesting that modification at this site could have an important role in modulating ribosome synthesis.
