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

Mitochondrial translation is a crucial regulatory step in mitochondrial genome expression. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, translational activators are believed to bind to the 5' UTRs of their target mRNAs to position the mitochondrial ribosome at the start codon. Pet309 and Mss51 are translational activators of COX1 mRNA, which encodes subunit one of cytochrome c oxidase. Pet309 physically interacts with COX1 mRNA, but no direct interaction of Mss51 with its target mRNA has been detected. Currently, the mechanisms underlying translational activation of COX1, or any other mitochondrial gene, remain poorly understood. To explore in depth the mechanism of COX1 mRNA translational activation, we studied the association of Pet309 and Mss51 with the mitochondrial ribosome. Both Pet309 and Mss51 interact with the mitoribosome regardless of the presence of COX1 mRNA or of each other. The association of Pet309 with the ribosome and with COX1 mRNA depends on its N-terminal domain. These findings indicate that Pet309 and Mss51 stably interact with the mitoribosome independently of active translation. By integrating our data with previously published research, we propose a new mechanism of COX1 mRNA translation activation.
