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

Chaperones, which assist protein folding are essential components of every living cell. The yeast ribosome-associated complex (RAC) is a chaperone that is highly conserved in eukaryotic cells. The RAC consists of the J protein Zuo1 and the unconventional Hsp70 homolog Ssz1. The RAC heterodimer stimulates the ATPase activity of the ribosome-bound Hsp70 homolog Ssb, which interacts with nascent polypeptide chains to facilitate de novo protein folding. In addition, the RAC-Ssb system is required to maintain the fidelity of protein translation. Recent work reveals important details of the unique structures of RAC and Ssb and identifies how the chaperones interact with the ribosome. The new findings start to uncover how the exceptional chaperone triad cooperates in protein folding and maintenance of translational fidelity and its connection to extraribosomal functions.
