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

Eukaryotic initiation factor 4 A (eIF4A) plays critical roles during translation initiation of cellular mRNAs by forming the cap-binding eIF4F complex, recruiting the 40S small ribosome subunit, and scanning the 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) for the start codon. eIF4A1 and eIF4A2, two isoforms of eIF4A, are highly conserved and exchange freely within eIF4F complexes. The understanding of their biological and molecular functions remains incomplete if not fragmentary. In this study, we showed that eIF4A1 and eIF4A2 exhibit different expression patterns during B-cell development and activation. Mouse genetic analyses showed that they play critical but differential roles during B-cell development and humoral immune responses. While eIF4A1 controls global protein synthesis, eIF4A2 regulates the biogenesis of 18S ribosomal RNA and the 40S ribosome subunit. This study demonstrates the distinct cellular and molecular functions of eIF4A1 and eIF4A2 and reveals a new role of eIF4A2 in controlling 40S ribosome biogenesis.
