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

Messenger RNA (mRNA) homeostasis is a critical aspect of cellular function, involving the dynamic interplay between transcription and decay processes. Recent advances have revealed that the ribosome plays a central role in coordinating mRNA decay, challenging the traditional view that free mRNA is the primary substrate for degradation. This review examines the mechanisms whereby ribosomes facilitate both the licensing and execution of mRNA decay. This involves factors such as the Ccr4-Not complex, small MutS-related domain endonucleases, and various quality control pathways. We discuss how translational fidelity, as well as the presence of nonoptimal codons and ribosome collisions, can trigger decay pathways such as nonstop decay and no-go decay. Furthermore, we highlight the direct association of canonical exonucleases, such as Xrn1 and the Ski-exosome system, with the ribosome, underscoring the ribosome's multifaceted role as a platform for regulatory processes governing mRNA stability. By integrating recent findings, this review offers a comprehensive overview of the structural basis of how ribosomes not only facilitate translation but also serve as critical hubs for mRNA decay coordination.
