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 fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, sup9 mutations can suppress the termination of translation at nonsense (stop) codons. We localized sup9 physically to the spctrnaser.11 locus and confirmed that one allele (sup9-UGA) alters the anticodon of a serine tRNA. We also found that another purported allele is not allelic. Instead, strains with that suppressor (renamed sup35-F592S) have a single base pair substitution (T1775C) that introduces an amino acid substitution in the Sup35 protein (Sup35-F592S). Reduced functionality of Sup35 (eRF3), the ubiquitous guanine nucleotide-responsive translation release factor of eukaryotes, increases read-through of stop codons. Tetrad dissection revealed that suppression is tightly linked to (inseparable from) the sup35-F592S mutation and that there are no additional extragenic modifiers. The Mendelian inheritance indicates that the Sup35-F592S protein does not adopt an infectious amyloid state ([PSI (+)] prion) to affect suppression, consistent with recent evidence that fission yeast Sup35 does not form prions. We also report that sup9-UGA and sup35-F592S exhibit different strengths of suppression for opal stop codons of ade6-M26 and ade6-M375. We discuss possible mechanisms for the variation in suppressibility exhibited by the two alleles.
