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

Cellular translation surveillance rescues ribosomes that stall on problematic mRNAs. During translation surveillance, endonucleolytic cleavage of the problematic mRNA is a critical step in rescuing stalled ribosomes. Here we identify NONU-1 as a factor required for translation surveillance pathways including no-go and nonstop mRNA decay. We show that (1) NONU-1 reduces nonstop and no-go mRNA levels; (2) NONU-1 contains an Smr RNase domain required for mRNA decay; (3) the domain architecture and catalytic residues of NONU-1 are conserved throughout metazoans and eukaryotes, respectively; and (4) NONU-1 is required for the formation of mRNA cleavage fragments in the vicinity of stalled ribosomes. We extend our results in C. elegans to homologous factors in S. cerevisiae, showing the evolutionarily conserved function of NONU-1. Our work establishes the identity of a factor critical to translation surveillance and will inform mechanistic studies at the intersection of translation and mRNA decay.
