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

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is generally thought to be a eukaryotic mRNA surveillance pathway tasked with the elimination of transcripts harboring an in-frame premature termination codon (PTC). As presently conceived, NMD acting in this manner minimizes the likelihood that potentially toxic polypeptide fragments would accumulate in the cytoplasm. This notion is to be contrasted to the results of systematic RNA-Seq and microarray analyses of NMD substrates in multiple model systems, two different experimental approaches which have shown that many mRNAs identified as NMD substrates fail to contain a PTC. Our recent results provide insight into, as well as a possible solution for, this conundrum. By high-resolution profiling of mRNAs that accumulate in yeast when the principal NMD regulatory genes (UPF1, UPF2, and UPF3) are deleted, we identified approximately 900 NMD substrates, the majority of which are normal-looking mRNAs that lack PTCs. Analyses of ribosomal profiling data revealed that the latter mRNAs tended to manifest elevated rates of out-of-frame translation, a phenomenon that would lead to premature translation termination in alternative reading frames. These results, and related observations of heterogeneity in mRNA isoforms, suggest that NMD should be reconsidered as a probabilistic mRNA quality control pathway that is continually active throughout an mRNA's life cycle.
