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

Translation-the process by which mRNAs are decoded into nascent peptides-is fundamental to life. This process is regulated by various RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), which interact with their target mRNAs. While traditional biochemical approaches have provided valuable insights into translational control, they rely on ensemble measurements of bulk mRNAs in test tubes. Consequently, the behavior of individual mRNAs and their spatiotemporal dynamics in cells during translational control remain largely unexplored. Offering a way to address such limitations, we developed a method for imaging translational control by Argonaute (AGO) proteins, a class of RBPs, at single-mRNA resolution in cells. This method, which employs three-color fluorescence microscopy to detect mRNAs, nascent peptides, and AGO, can also serve as a versatile platform for analyzing translational control by other RBPs. In this protocol, we provide a step-by-step guide for implementing this method to facilitate spatiotemporal studies of translational control at the single-cell and single-mRNA levels.
