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 rate of translation can vary depending on the mRNA template. During the elongation phase the ribosome can transiently pause or permanently stall. A pause can provide the nascent protein with the time to fold or be transported, while stalling can serve as quality control and trigger degradation of aberrant mRNA and peptide. Ribosome profiling has allowed for the genome-wide detection of such pauses and stalls, but due to library-specific biases, these predictions are often unreliable. Here, we take advantage of the deep conservation of protein synthesis machinery, hypothesizing that similar conservation could exist for functionally important locations of ribosome slowdown, here collectively called stall sites. We analyze multiple ribosome profiling datasets from phylogenetically diverse eukaryotes: yeast, fruit fly, zebrafish, mouse and human to identify conserved stall sites. We find thousands of stall sites across multiple species, with the enrichment of proline, glycine and negatively charged amino acids around conserved stalling. Many of the sites are found in RNA processing genes, suggesting that stalling might have a conserved role in RNA metabolism. In summary, our results provide a rich resource for the study of conserved stalling and indicate possible roles of stalling in gene regulation.
