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

Transfer RNA (tRNA) from all domains of life contains multiple modified nucleosides, the functions of which remain incompletely understood. Genetic interactions between tRNA modification genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae suggest that different tRNA modifications collaborate to maintain translational efficiency. Here we characterize such collaborative functions in the ochre suppressor tRNA SUP4. We quantified ochre read-through efficiency in mutants lacking either of the 7 known modifications in the extended anticodon stem loop (G26-C48). Absence of U34, U35, A37, U47 and C48 modifications partially impaired SUP4 function. We systematically combined modification defects and scored additive or synergistic negative effects on SUP4 performance. Our data reveal different degrees of functional redundancy between specific modifications, the strongest of which was demonstrated for those occurring at positions U34 and A37. SUP4 activity in the absence of critical modifications, however, can be rescued in a gene dosage dependent fashion by TEF1 which encodes elongation factor eEF1A required for tRNA delivery to the ribosome. Strikingly, the rescue ability of higher-than-normal eEF1A levels extends to tRNA modification defects in natural non-suppressor tRNAs suggesting that elevated eEF1A abundance can partially compensate for functional defects induced by loss of tRNA modifications.
