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

Small proteins encoded by open reading frames (ORFs) shorter than 50 codons (small ORFs [sORFs]) are often overlooked by annotation engines and are difficult to characterize using traditional biochemical techniques. Ribosome profiling has tremendous potential to empirically improve the annotations of prokaryotic genomes. Recent improvements in ribosome profiling methods for bacterial model organisms have revealed many new sORFs in well-characterized genomes. Antibiotics that trap ribosomes just after initiation have played a key role in these developments by allowing the unambiguous identification of the start codons (and, hence, the reading frame) for novel ORFs. Here, we describe these new methods and highlight critical controls and considerations for adapting ribosome profiling to different prokaryotic species.
