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 misincorporation of an incorrect amino acid into a polypeptide during protein synthesis is considered a detrimental phenomenon. A mistranslated protein is often misfolded and degraded or nonfunctional and results in an increased cost to quality control machinery. Despite these costs, errors during protein synthesis are common in bacteria. Here, we report that mistranslation in Escherichia coli increase the protein level of the heat shock sigma factor RpoH and protect cells against heat stress. Surprisingly, this increase in RpoH due to mistranslation is dependent on the presence of the general stress response sigma factor RpoS. This report provides evidence for a protective function of mistranslation and suggests a novel regulatory role of RpoS in the heat shock response.
