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

The codon stabilization coefficient (CSC) is derived from the correlation between each codon frequency in transcripts and mRNA half-life experimental data. In this work, we used this metric as a reference to compare previously published Saccharomyces cerevisiae mRNA half-life datasets and investigate how codon composition related to protein levels. We generated CSCs derived from nine studies. Four datasets produced similar CSCs, which also correlated with other independent parameters that reflected codon optimality, such as the tRNA abundance and ribosome residence time. By calculating the average CSC for each gene, we found that most mRNAs tended to have more non-optimal codons. Conversely, a high proportion of optimal codons was found for genes coding highly abundant proteins, including proteins that were only transiently overexpressed in response to stress conditions. We also used CSCs to identify and locate mRNA regions enriched in non-optimal codons. We found that these stretches were usually located close to the initiation codon and were sufficient to slow ribosome movement. However, in contrast to observations from reporter systems, we found no position-dependent effect on the mRNA half-life. These analyses underscore the value of CSCs in studies of mRNA stability and codon bias and their relationships with protein expression.
