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

In response to stress, translation initiation is suppressed and ribosome runoff via translation elongation drives mRNA assembly into ribonucleoprotein (RNP) granules including stress granules and P-bodies. Defects in translation elongation activate the integrated stress response. If and how stalled ribosomes are removed from mRNAs during translation elongation stress to drive RNP granule assembly is not clear. We demonstrate the integrated stress response is induced upon tRNA synthetase inhibition in part via ribosome collision sensing. However, saturating levels of tRNA synthetase inhibitors do not induce stress granules or P-bodies and prevent RNP granule assembly upon exogenous stress. The loss of tRNA synthetase activity causes persistent ribosome stalls that can be released with puromycin but are not rescued by ribosome-associated quality control pathways. Therefore, tRNA synthetase activity is required for ribosomes to run off mRNAs during stress to scaffold cytoplasmic RNP granules. Our findings suggest ribosome stalls can persist in human cells and uniquely uncouple ribonucleoprotein condensate assembly from the integrated stress response.
