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

Protein synthesis requires both high speed and accuracy to ensure a healthy cellular environment. Estimates of errors during protein synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have varied from 10-3 to 10-4 errors per codon. Here, we show that errors made by ${\rm{tRNA}}^{\rm Glu}_{\rm UUC}$ in yeast can vary 100-fold, from 10-6 to 10-4 errors per codon. The most frequent errors require a G•U mismatch at the second position for the near cognate codon GGA (Gly). We also show, contrary to our previous results, that yeast tRNAs can make errors involving mismatches at the wobble position but with low efficiency. We have also assessed the effect on misreading frequency of post-transcriptional modifications of tRNAs, which are known to regulate cognate codon decoding in yeast. We tested the roles of mcm5s2U34 and t6A37 and show that their effects depend on details of the codon anticodon interaction including the position of the modification with respect to the base mismatch and the nature of that mismatch. Both mcm5 and s2 modification of wobble uridine strongly stabilizes G2•U35 mismatches when ${\rm{tRNA}}^{\rm Glu}_{\rm UUC}$ misreads the GGA Gly codon but has weaker effects on other mismatches. By contrast, t6A37 destabilizes U1•U36 mismatches when ${\rm{tRNA}}^{\rm Lys}_{\rm UUU}$ misreads UAA or UAG but stabilizes mismatches at the second and wobble positions.
