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

Elongation factor P (EF-P) is a universally conserved translation factor that alleviates ribosome pausing at polyproline (PPX) motifs by facilitating peptide bond formation. In the absence of EF-P, PPX peptide bond formation can limit translation rate, leading to pleotropic phenotypes including slowed growth, increased antibiotic sensitivity, and loss of virulence. In this study, we observe that many of these phenotypes are dependent on growth rate. Limiting growth rate suppresses a variety of detrimental phenotypes associated with ribosome pausing at PPX motifs in the absence of EF-P. Polysome levels are also similar to wild-type under slow growth conditions, consistent with global changes in ribosome queuing in cells without EF-P when growth rate is decreased. Inversely, under high protein synthesis demands, we observe that
