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 TRAFAC (translation factors) GTPase OLA1 plays a critical role in various stress responses and is implicated in the regulation of tumor progression. It is conserved from bacteria to eukaryotes and regulates the translation through binding to the ribosome. Here, we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of its Escherichia coli homolog, YchF, with the 50S subunit. In this structure, YchF is positioned at the side of the 50S subunit by engaging with uL14, bL19, and rRNA helix H62 through its helical and ATPase domains. We further demonstrate that the helical domain is essential for OLA1/YchF to function. A comprehensive analysis of the structure and Ribo-seq data points out that OLA1/YchF promotes the splitting of ribosomes into subunits on D/E-rich mRNA. Our findings provide crucial structural insights into the molecular mechanism of OLA1/YchF-associated translation-stalling regulation, which maintains the translation of genes involved in stress response and tumor progression.
