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 bacteria, the rates of transcription elongation and translation elongation are coordinated, changing together in response to growth conditions. It has been proposed that this is due to physical coupling of RNA polymerase and the lead ribosome on nascent mRNA, an interaction important for preventing premature transcription termination by Rho factor. Recent studies challenge this view and provide evidence that coordination is indirect, mediated in Escherichia coli by the alarmone (p)ppGpp. Here, we discuss these new findings and how they shape our understanding of the functional relationship between RNA polymerase and the ribosome as well as the basis of transcriptional polarity.
