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

Translational regulation is a critical step in the production of proteins from genomic material in both human and viruses. However, unlike other steps of the central dogma, such as transcriptional regulation, little is known about the cis-regulatory elements involved. In a recent study we devised a high-throughput bicistronic reporter assay for the discovery and the characterization of thousands of novel Internal Ribosome Entry Sites (IRESs) in human and hundreds of viral genomes. Our results provide insights into the landscape of IRES elements in human and viral transcripts and the cis-regulatory sequences underlying their activity. Here, we discuss these results as well as emerging insights from other studies, providing new views about translational regulation in human and viruses. In addition, we highlight recent high-throughput technologies in the field and discuss how combining insights from high- and low-throughput approaches can illuminate yet uncovered mechanisms of translational regulation.
