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

Polyadenylation plays important roles in RNA metabolism in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Surprisingly, deregulation of polyadenylation by poly(A) polymerase I (PAP I) in Escherichia coli leads to toxicity and cell death. We show here that mature tRNAs, which are normally not substrates for PAP I in wild-type cells, are rapidly polyadenylated as PAP I levels increase, leading to dramatic reductions in the fraction of aminoacylated tRNAs, cessation of protein synthesis and cell death. The toxicity associated with PAP I is exacerbated by the absence of either RNase T and/or RNase PH, the two major 3' → 5' exonucleases involved in the final step of tRNA 3'-end maturation, confirming their role in the regulation of tRNA polyadenylation. Furthermore, our data demonstrate that regulation of PAP I is critical not for preventing the decay of mRNAs, but rather for maintaining normal levels of functional tRNAs and protein synthesis in E. coli, a function for polyadenylation that has not been observed previously in any organism.
