Anticodon nucleotide modifications affect translational tuning by the ribosomal CAR surface.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Nucleotide modifications of the tRNA anticodon can affect protein translation fidelity and speed. Chemical modifications of the anticodon nucleotide 34 are regulated under cellular stress and associated with several translational defects and pathologies. Here, we investigate how these modifications influence A-site codon recognition interactions and their coupling to the CAR site that lies adjacent to nucleotide 34 in the ribosome. The conserved three-residue CAR interface hydrogen bonds in a sequence-dependent manner to the mRNA +1 codon 3'-adjacent to the A-site codon and is implicated in tuning translational speed. The C of CAR is pi-stacked with the nucleotide 34 of the A site tRNA anticodon. The A site and the CAR site influence each other's hydrogen bonding and stacking interactions, and these codon-adjacency effects potentially provide a layer of regulation affecting translational fidelity and kinetics. Through molecular dynamics simulations of a subsystem of a translocating ribosome IRES-model, we observed that nucleotide 34 modifications affect the hydrogen bonding and stacking interactions at the A site and CAR site as well as CAR's influence on the A site interactions. Integrating these results with gene sequence and ribosome profiling analyses, we propose that nucleotide 34 modifications help modulate CAR's sequence-dependent tuning of translation in response to cellular stress.
