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 ribosome CAR interaction surface behaves as an extension of the decoding center A site and has H-bond interactions with the +1 codon, which is next in line to enter the A site. Through molecular dynamic simulations, we investigated the codon sequence specificity of this CAR-mRNA interaction and discovered a strong preference for GCN codons, suggesting that there may be a sequence-dependent layer of translational regulation dependent on the CAR interaction surface. Dissection of the CAR-mRNA interaction through nucleotide substitution experiments showed that the first nucleotide of the +1 codon dominates over the second nucleotide position, consistent with an energetically favorable zipper-like activity that emanates from the A site through the CAR-mRNA interface. Moreover, the CAR/+1 codon interaction is affected by the identity of nucleotide 3 of +1 GCN codons, which influences the stacking of G and C. Clustering analysis suggests that the A-site decoding center adopts different neighborhood substates that depend on the identity of the +1 codon.
