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

Measurement of mRNA translation level has heavily relied on quantifying the amount of polysome-associated RNAs, which would not always reflect efficient translation. To address this, we developed ReleAsing Factor Tethered Editing of RNA (RAFTER), which combined the RNA editing enzyme with translation releasing factor to selectively label successfully translated RNAs. The translation level estimated based on RAFTER correlated well with that by Ribo-seq and Polysome-seq, but with a greatly simplified workflow, which enables it for single-cell analysis.
