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

Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are often translated ahead of the main ORF of a gene and regulate gene expression, sometimes in a condition-dependent manner, but such a role for the minimum uORF (hereafter referred to as AUG-stop) in living organisms is currently unclear. Here, we show that AUG-stop plays an important role in the boron (B)-dependent regulation of NIP5;1, encoding a boric acid channel required for normal growth under low B conditions in Arabidopsis thaliana High B enhanced ribosome stalling at AUG-stop, which was accompanied by the suppression of translation and mRNA degradation. This mRNA degradation was promoted by an upstream conserved sequence present near the 5'-edge of the stalled ribosome. Once ribosomes translate a uORF, reinitiation of translation must take place in order for the downstream ORF to be translated. Our results suggest that reinitiation of translation at the downstream NIP5;1 ORF is enhanced under low B conditions. A genome-wide analysis identified two additional B-responsive genes, SKU5 and the transcription factor gene ABS/NGAL1, which were regulated by B-dependent ribosome stalling through AUG-stop. This regulation was reproduced in both plant and animal transient expression and cell-free translation systems. These findings suggest that B-dependent AUG-stop-mediated regulation is common in eukaryotes.
