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

Reinitiation is a strategy used by viruses to express several cistrons from one mRNA. Although extremely weak after translation of long open reading frames (ORFs) on cellular mRNAs, reinitiation occurs efficiently on subgenomic bicistronic calicivirus mRNAs, enabling synthesis of minor capsid proteins. The process is governed by a short element upstream of the restart AUG, designated "termination upstream ribosomal binding site" (TURBS). It contains the conserved Motif 1 complementary to h26 of 18S rRNA, displayed in the loop of a hairpin formed by species-specific Motifs 2/2(∗). To determine the advantages conferred on reinitiation by TURBS, we reconstituted this process in vitro on two model bicistronic calicivirus mRNAs. We found that post-termination ribosomal tethering of mRNA by TURBS allows reinitiation by post-termination 80S ribosomes and diminishes dependence on eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF3) of reinitiation by recycled 40S subunits, which can be mediated either by eIFs 2/1/1A or by Ligatin following ABCE1-dependent or -independent splitting of post-termination complexes.
