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

Mutations at position C1054 of 16S rRNA have previously been shown to cause translational suppression in Escherichia coli. To examine the effects of similar mutations in a eukaryote, all three possible base substitutions and a base deletion were generated at the position of Saccharomyces cerevisiae 18S rRNA corresponding to E. coli C1054. In yeast, as in E. coli, both C1054A (rdn-1A) and C1054G (rdn-1G) caused dominant nonsense suppression. Yeast C1054U (rdn-1T) was a recessive antisuppressor, while yeast C1054-delta (rdn-1delta) led to recessive lethality. Both C1054U and two previously described yeast 18S rRNA antisuppressor mutations, G517A (rdn-2) and U912C (rdn-4), inhibited codon-nonspecific suppression caused by mutations in eukaryotic release factors, sup45 and sup35. However, among these only C1054U inhibited UAA-specific suppressions caused by a UAA-decoding mutant tRNA-Gln (SLT3). Our data implicate eukaryotic C1054 in translational termination, thus suggesting that its function is conserved throughout evolution despite the divergence of nearby nucleotide sequences.
