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

The role of helix 6, which forms the major portion of the most 5'-located expansion segment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae 18S rRNA, was studied by in vivo mutational analysis. Mutations that increased the size of the helical part and/or the loop, even to a relatively small extent, abolished 18S rRNA formation almost completely. Concomitantly, 35S pre-rRNA and an abnormal 23S precursor species accumulated. rDNA units containing these mutations did not support cell growth. A deletion removing helix 6 almost completely, on the other hand, had a much less severe effect on the formation of 18S rRNA, and cells expressing only the mutant rRNA remained able to grow, albeit at a much reduced rate. Disruption of the apical A.U base pair by a single point mutation did not cause a noticeable reduction in the level of 18S rRNA but did result in a twofold lower growth rate of the cells. This effect could not be reversed by introduction of a second point mutation that restores base pairing. We conclude that both the primary and the secondary structure of helix 6 play an important role in the formation and the biological function of the 40S subunit.
