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

Ribosome-associated quality-control (RQC) surveys incomplete nascent polypeptides produced by interrupted translation. Central players in RQC are the human ribosome- and tRNA-binding protein, NEMF, and its orthologs, yeast Rqc2 and bacterial RqcH, which sense large ribosomal subunits obstructed with nascent chains and then promote nascent-chain proteolysis. In canonical eukaryotic RQC, NEMF stabilizes the LTN1/Listerin E3 ligase binding to obstructed ribosomal subunits for nascent-chain ubiquitylation. Furthermore, NEMF orthologs across evolution modify nascent chains by mediating C-terminal, untemplated polypeptide elongation. In eukaryotes, this process exposes ribosome-buried nascent-chain lysines, the ubiquitin acceptor sites, to LTN1. Remarkably, in both bacteria and eukaryotes, C-terminal tails also have an extra-ribosomal function as degrons. Here, we discuss recent findings on RQC mechanisms and briefly review how ribosomal stalling is sensed upstream of RQC, including via ribosome collisions, from an evolutionary perspective. Because RQC defects impair cellular fitness and cause neurodegeneration, this knowledge provides a framework for pathway-related biology and disease studies.
