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 eukaryotic initiation factor 3 (eIF3) is one of the most complex translation initiation factors in mammalian cells, consisting of several subunits (eIF3a to eIF3m). It is crucial in translation initiation and termination, and in ribosomal recycling. Accordingly, deregulated eIF3 expression is associated with different pathological conditions, including cancer. In this manuscript, we discuss the interactome and function of each subunit of the human eIF3 complex. Furthermore, we review how altered levels of eIF3 subunits correlate with neurodegenerative disorders and cancer onset and development; in addition, we evaluate how such misregulation may also trigger infection cascades. A deep understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying eIF3 role in human disease is essential to develop new eIF3-targeted therapeutic approaches and thus, overcome such conditions.
