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 transcriptional control of sporulation in Bacillus subtilis is reasonably well understood, but its translational control is underexplored. Here, we use RNA-seq, ribosome profiling and fluorescence microscopy to study the translational dynamics of B. subtilis sporulation. We identify two events of translation silencing and describe spatiotemporal changes in subcellular localization of ribosomes during sporulation. We investigate the potential regulatory role of ribosomes during sporulation using a strain lacking zinc-independent paralogs of three zinc-dependent ribosomal proteins (L31, L33 and S14). The mutant strain exhibits delayed sporulation, reduced germination efficiency, dysregulated translation of metabolic and sporulation-related genes, and disruptions in translation silencing, particularly in late sporulation.
