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 ribosome assembly is an intricate process that involves four ribosomal RNAs, 80 ribosomal proteins, and over 200 biogenesis factors that participate in numerous interdependent steps. The complexity and essentiality of this process create opportunities for deleterious mutations to occur, accumulate, and impact downstream cellular processes. "Dead-end" ribosome intermediates that result from biogenesis errors are rapidly degraded, affirming the existence of quality control (QC) pathway(s) that monitor ribosome assembly. However, the factors that differentiate between on-path and dead-end intermediates are unknown. We engineered a system to perturb ribosome assembly in human cells and discovered that faulty ribosomes are degraded via the ubiquitin-proteasome system. We identified ZNF574 as a key component of a QC pathway, which we term the ribosome assembly surveillance pathway (RASP). In an animal model, loss of ZNF574 leads to developmental defects, emphasizing the importance of RASP in organismal health.
