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 sequences of the 5' untranslated regions (5'-UTRs) of mRNA alter gene expression across domains of life. Transcriptional modulators can be easily assayed through transcription termination, but translational regulators often require indirect, laborious methods. We have leveraged RelE's ribosome-dependent endonuclease activity to develop a quantitative assay to monitor translation initiation of cis-regulatory mRNAs. RelE cleavage accurately reports ligand-dependent changes in ribosome association for two translational riboswitches and provides quantitative information about each switch's sensitivity and range of response. RelE accurately reads out sequence-driven changes in riboswitch specificity and function and is quantitatively dependent upon ligand concentration. RelE cleavage similarly captures differences in translation initiation between yeast 5'-UTR isoforms. RelE cleavage can thus reveal a plethora of information about translation initiation in different domains of life.
