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

Upstream open reading frame (uORF) translation disrupts scanning 43S flux on mRNA and modulates main open reading frame (mORF) translation efficiency. Current tools, however, have limited access to ribosome dynamics in both upstream and main ORFs of an mRNA. Here, we develop a new two-color in vitro fluorescence assay, Smart-ORF, that monitors individual uORF and mORF translation events in real-time with single-molecule resolution. We demonstrate the utility of Smart-ORF by applying it to uORF-encoded arginine attenuator peptide (AAP)-mediated translational regulation. The method enabled quantification of uORF and mORF initiation efficiencies, 80S dwell time, polysome formation, and the correlation between uORF and mORF translation dynamics. Smart-ORF revealed that AAP-mediated 80S stalling in the uORF stimulates the uORF initiation efficiency and promotes clustering of slower uORF-translating ribosomes. This technology provides a new tool that can reveal previously uncharacterized dynamics of uORF-containing mRNA translation.
