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

We have investigated the cleavage induced by metal ions in an antigenomic form of a trans-acting delta ribozyme. A specific Mg(2+)-induced cleavage at position G(52)at the bottom of the P2 stem was observed to occur solely within catalytically active ribozyme-substrate complexes (i.e. those that performed the essential conformational transition step). Only the divalent cations which support catalytic activity permitted the detection of specific induced cleavages in this region. Using various mutant ribozymes and substrates, we demonstrated a correlation between enzymatic activity and the Mg(2+)-induced cleavage pattern. We show that the efficiency of the coordination of the magnesium to its binding site is related to the nature of the base pair in the middle of the P1 stem (i.e. Rz(23)-S(8)). Together with additional evidence from nuclease probing experiments that indicates the occurrence of a structural rearrangement involving the bottom of the P2 stem upon formation of the P1 helix, these results show that an intimate relationship exists between the folding and the catalytic activity of the delta ribozyme.
