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 Saccharomyces cerevisiae, most ribosomal proteins are synthesized from duplicated genes, increasing the potential for ribosome heterogeneity. However, the contribution of these duplicated genes to ribosome production and the mechanism determining their relative expression remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that in most cases, one of the two gene copies generate the bulk of the active ribosomes under normal growth conditions, while the other copy is favored only under stress. To understand the origin of these differences in paralog expression and their contribution to ribosome heterogeneity we used RNA polymerase II ChIP-Seq, RNA-seq, polyribosome association and peptide-based mass-spectrometry to compare their transcription potential, splicing, mRNA abundance, translation potential, protein abundance and incorporation into ribosomes. In normal conditions a post-transcriptional expression hierarchy of the duplicated ribosomal protein genes is the product of the efficient splicing, high stability and efficient translation of the major paralog mRNA. Exposure of the cell to stress modifies the expression ratio of the paralogs by repressing the expression of the major paralog and thus increasing the number of ribosomes carrying the minor paralog. Together the data indicate that duplicated ribosomal protein genes underlie a modular network permitting the modification of ribosome composition in response to changing growth conditions.
