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

During protein synthesis on ribosome, tRNA recognizes its cognate codon of mRNA through base-pairing with the anticodon. The 5'-end nucleotide of the anticodon is capable of wobble base-pairing, offering a molecular basis for codon degeneracy. The wobble nucleotide is often targeted for post-transcriptional modification, which affects the specificity and fidelity of the decoding process. Flipping-out of a wobble nucleotide in the anticodon loop has been proposed to be necessary for modifying enzymes to access the target nucleotide, which has been captured in selective structures of protein-bound complexes. Meanwhile, all other structures of free or ribosome-bound tRNA display anticodon bases arranged in stacked conformation. We report the X-ray crystal structure of unbound tRNA
