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

Previous work has suggested that highly positively charged protein segments coded by rare codons or poly (A) stretches induce ribosome stalling and translational arrest through electrostatic interactions with the negatively charged ribosome exit tunnel, leading to inefficient elongation. This arrest leads to the activation of the Ribosome Quality Control (RQC) pathway and results in low expression of these reporter proteins. However, the only endogenous yeast proteins known to activate the RQC are Rqc1, a protein essential for RQC function, and Sdd1, a protein with unknown function, both of which contain polybasic sequences. To explore the generality of this phenomenon, we investigated whether the RQC complex controls the expression of other proteins with polybasic sequences. We showed by ribosome profiling data analysis and western blot that proteins containing polybasic sequences similar to, or even more positively charged than those of Rqc1 and Sdd1, were not targeted by the RQC complex. We also observed that the previously reported Ltn1-dependent regulation of Rqc1 is posttranslational, independent of the RQC activity. Taken together, our results suggest that RQC should not be regarded as a general regulatory pathway for the expression of highly positively charged proteins in yeast.
