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

Defects in tRNA biogenesis are associated with multiple neurological disorders, yet our understanding of these diseases has been hampered by an inability to determine tRNA expression in individual cell types within a complex tissue. Here, we developed a mouse model in which RNA polymerase III is conditionally epitope tagged in a Cre-dependent manner, allowing us to accurately profile tRNA expression in any cell type in vivo. We investigated tRNA expression in diverse nervous system cell types, revealing dramatic heterogeneity in the expression of tRNA genes between populations. We found that while maintenance of levels of tRNA isoacceptor families is critical for cellular homeostasis, neurons are differentially vulnerable to insults to distinct tRNA isoacceptor families. Cell-type-specific translatome analysis suggests that the balance between tRNA availability and codon demand may underlie such differential resilience. Our work provides a platform for investigating the complexities of mRNA translation and tRNA biology in the brain.
