Both the 5' untranslated region and the sequences surrounding the start site contribute to efficient initiation of translation in vitro.

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.
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 role of RNA sequences in the 5' leader region between the cap site and initiating AUG in mediating translation was examined in vitro. Hybrid mRNAs were synthesized in which the cognate leader sequence was replaced with either optimized or compromised leader sequences, and translational efficiency was measured for six different coding regions. Translation was most efficient with a leader containing the 5' untranslated region from Xenopus beta-globin and an optimized initiation sequence. Compared with the cognate leaders, this hybrid was observed to increase translation of the various coding regions as much as 300-fold. The translational efficiencies of the different coding regions also varied substantially. In contrast to earlier suggestions that increased leader efficiency results from higher affinity of the leader for a limiting factor, our experiments suggest that increased translation from the beta-globin hybrid leader sequence results from more rapid initiation of translation.
