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

To gain insight into the mechanistic link between translation termination and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), we depleted the ribosome recycling factor ABCE1 in human cells, resulting in an upregulation of NMD-sensitive mRNAs. Suppression of NMD on these mRNAs occurs prior to their SMG6-mediated endonucleolytic cleavage. ABCE1 depletion caused ribosome stalling at termination codons (TCs) and increased ribosome occupancy in 3' UTRs, implying enhanced TC readthrough. ABCE1 knockdown indeed increased the rate of readthrough and continuation of translation in different reading frames, providing a possible explanation for the observed NMD inhibition, since enhanced readthrough displaces NMD activating proteins from the 3' UTR. Our results indicate that stalling at TCs triggers ribosome collisions and activates ribosome quality control. Collectively, we show that improper translation termination can lead to readthrough of the TC, presumably due to ribosome collisions pushing the stalled ribosomes into the 3' UTR, where it can resume translation in-frame as well as out-of-frame.
