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

During translation's elongation cycle, elongation factor G (EF-G) promotes messenger and transfer RNA translocation through the ribosome. Until now, the structures reported for EF-G-ribosome complexes have been obtained by trapping EF-G in the ribosome. These results were based on use of non-hydrolyzable guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) analogs, specific inhibitors or a mutated EF-G form. Here, we present the first cryo-electron microscopy structure of EF-G bound to ribosome in the absence of an inhibitor. The structure reveals a natural conformation of EF-G·GDP in the ribosome, with a previously unseen conformation of its third domain. These data show how EF-G must affect translocation, and suggest the molecular mechanism by which fusidic acid antibiotic prevents the release of EF-G after GTP hydrolysis.
