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

The eukaryotic ribosome-associated complex (RAC) plays a significant role in de novo protein folding. Its unique interaction with the ribosome, comprising contacts to both ribosomal subunits, suggests a RAC-mediated coordination between translation elongation and co-translational protein folding. Here, we apply electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy combined with site-directed spin labeling (SDSL) to gain deeper insights into a RAC-ribosome contact affecting translational accuracy. We identified a local contact point of RAC to the ribosome. The data provide the first experimental evidence for the existence of a four-helix bundle as well as a long α-helix in full-length RAC, in solution as well as on the ribosome. Additionally, we complemented the structural picture of the region mediating this functionally important contact on the 40S ribosomal subunit. In sum, this study constitutes the first application of SDSL-EPR spectroscopy to elucidate the molecular details of the interaction between the 3.3 MDa translation machinery and a chaperone complex.
