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

During protein synthesis, ribosomes translate the genetic information encoded within messenger RNAs into defined amino acid sequences. Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are crucial adaptor molecules in this process, delivering amino acid residues to the ribosome and holding the nascent peptide chain as it is assembled. Here, we present methods for the analysis of aminoacyl- and peptidyl-tRNA species isolated from Escherichia coli. These approaches utilize denaturing gel electrophoresis at acidic pH to preserve the labile ester bonds that link amino acids to tRNA. Specific aminoacyl- and peptidyl-tRNAs are detected by Northern blot hybridization using probes for tRNA isoacceptors. Small peptidyl-tRNAs can be differentiated from aminoacyl-tRNA through selective deacylation of the latter with copper sulfate. Additionally, peptidyl-tRNAs can be detected through metabolic labeling of the nascent peptide. This approach is amenable to pulse-chase analysis to examine peptidyl-tRNA turnover in vivo. We have applied these methods to study programmed translational arrests and the kinetics of paused ribosome turnover.
