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

Post-transcriptional (PtscM) and post-translational (PtrnM) modifications of nucleotides and amino acids are covalent modifications able to change physio-chemical properties of RNAs and proteins. In the ribosome, the adequate assembly of rRNAs and ribosomal protein subunits in the nucleolus ensures suitable translational activity, with protein synthesis tuned according to intracellular demands of energy production, replication, proliferation, and growth. Disruption in the regulatory control of PtscM and PtrnM can impair ribosome biogenesis and ribosome function. Ribosomal impairment may, in turn, impact the synthesis of proteins engaged in functions as varied as telomere maintenance, apoptosis, and DNA repair, as well as intersect with mitochondria and telomerase activity. These cellular processes often malfunction in carcinogenesis and senescence. Here we discuss regulatory mechanisms of PtscMs and PtrnMs on ribosomal function. We also address chemical modification in rRNAs and their impacts on cellular metabolism, replication control, and senescence. Further, we highlight similarities and differences of PtscMs and PtrnMs in ribosomal intermediates during aging and carcinogenesis. Understanding these regulatory mechanisms may uncover critical steps for the development of more efficient oncologic and anti-aging therapies.
