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 fact that selenocysteine (Sec) is delivered to the elongating ribosome by a tRNA that recognizes a UGA stop codon makes it unique and a thorn in the side of what was originally thought to be a universal genetic code. The mechanism by which this redefinition occurs has been slowly coming to light over the past 30 years, but key questions remain. This review seeks to highlight the prominent mechanistic questions that will guide the direction of work in the near future. These questions arise from two major aspects of Sec incorporation: (1) novel functions for the Sec insertion sequence (SECIS) that resides in all selenoprotein mRNAs and (2) the myriad of RNA-binding proteins, both known and yet to be discovered, that act in concert to modify the translation elongation process to allow Sec incorporation.
