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

Translational regulation plays a pivotal role during pre-implantation development. However, the mechanisms by which messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are selectively regulated over time, along with their dynamic utilization and fate during this period, remain largely unknown. Here, we performed fraction-resolved polysome profiling and characterized translational dynamics across oocytes and early embryo development. This approach allowed us to examine the changes in translation during pre-implantation development in high resolution and uncover previously unrecognized modes of translational selectivity. We observed a stage-specific delay in translation, characterized by the postponed recruitment of stored mRNAs-either unbound or associated with light ribosomal fractions-into actively translating polysomes (heavy fraction). Comparative analysis of translatome with proteomics, RNA N6-methyladenosine modifications, and mRNA features further revealed both coordinated and distinct regulatory mechanisms during pre-implantation development. Furthermore, we identified a eukaryotic initiation factor 1A domain containing 3, Eif1ad3, which is exclusively translated at the two-cell stage and is essential for embryonic development by regulating ribosome biogenesis and protein synthesis. Collectively, our study provides a valuable resource of spatiotemporal translational regulation in mammalian pre-implantation development and highlights a previously uncharacterized translation initiation factor critical for early embryos.
