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

In response to cellular stresses bacteria conserve energy by dimerization of ribosomes into inactive hibernating 100S ribosome particles. Ribosome dimerization in Thermus thermophilus is facilitated by hibernation-promoting factor (TtHPF). In this study we demonstrate high sensitivity of Tt100S formation to the levels of TtHPF and show that a 1:1 ratio leads to optimal dimerization. We report structures of the T. thermophilus 100S ribosome determined by cryo-electron microscopy to average resolutions of 4.13 Å and 4.57 Å. In addition, we present a 3.28 Å high-resolution cryo-EM reconstruction of a 70S ribosome from a hibernating ribosome dimer and reveal a role for the linker region connecting the TtHPF N- and C-terminal domains in translation inhibition by preventing Shine-Dalgarno duplex formation. Our work demonstrates that species-specific differences in the dimerization interface govern the overall conformation of the 100S ribosome particle and that for Thermus thermophilus no ribosome-ribosome interactions are involved in the interface.
