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

In the current issue, Weis et al (2010a) and Fu et al (2010) provide cryo-electron microscopy snapshots of different states of the bacterial ribosome-rescuing complex with tmRNA. This regulatory RNA molecule remarkably carries both tRNA- and mRNA-like elements that have to move through the ribosome machinery when it is stalled on an mRNA lacking a termination codon. The comparison of three intermediate states gives novel insights into the mechanism of tmRNA translocation and transient accommodation on the ribosome, and into trans-translation—the template switching from a defective mRNA to the short coding region of the tmRNA, which allows rescuing the stuck ribosome.
