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

Specific sequences of certain nascent peptides cause programmed ribosomal arrest during mRNA translation to control gene expression. In eukaryotes, most known regulatory arrest peptides are encoded by upstream open reading frames (uORFs) present in the 5'-untranslated region of mRNAs. However, to date, a limited number of eukaryotic uORFs encoding arrest peptides have been reported. Here, we searched for arrest peptide-encoding uORFs among Arabidopsis thaliana uORFs with evolutionarily conserved peptide sequences. Analysis of in vitro translation products of 22 conserved uORFs identified three novel uORFs causing ribosomal arrest in a peptide sequence-dependent manner. Stop codon-scanning mutagenesis, in which the effect of changing the uORF stop codon position on the ribosomal arrest was examined, and toeprint analysis revealed that two of the three uORFs cause ribosomal arrest during translation elongation, whereas the other one causes ribosomal arrest during translation termination. Transient expression assays showed that the newly identified arrest-causing uORFs exerted a strong sequence-dependent repressive effect on the expression of the downstream reporter gene in A. thaliana protoplasts. These results suggest that the peptide sequences of the three uORFs identified in this study cause ribosomal arrest in the uORFs, thereby repressing the expression of proteins encoded by the main ORFs.
