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

Internal ribosome entry site (IRES) elements are RNA regions that recruit the translation machinery internally. Here we investigated the conformational changes and RNA dynamics of a picornavirus IRES upon incubation with distinct ribosomal fractions. Differential SHAPE analysis of the free RNA showed that nucleotides reaching the final conformation on long timescales were placed at domains 4 and 5, while candidates for long-range interactions were located in domain 3. Salt-washed ribosomes induced a fast RNA local flexibility modification of domains 2 and 3, while ribosome-associated factors changed domains 4 and 5. Consistent with this, modeling of the three-dimensional RNA structure indicated that incubation of the IRES with native ribosomes induced a local rearrangement of the apical region of domain 3, and a reorientation of domains 4 and 5. Furthermore, specific motifs within domains 2 and 3 showed a decreased flexibility upon incubation with ribosomal subunits in vitro, and presence of the IRES enhanced mRNA association to the ribosomal subunits in whole cell lysates. The finding that RNA modules can provide direct IRES-ribosome interaction suggests that linking these motifs to additional sequences able to recruit trans-acting factors could be useful to design synthetic IRESs with novel activities.
