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.
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
A cell-free mRNA decay assay has been adapted to permit the kinetics of 3' --> 5' exoribonuclease activities to be monitored in real time. RNA probes containing 5' caps and 3' poly(A) tails generated by transcription in vitro are 3' labeled using fluorescein-N6-ATP and poly(A) polymerase. Release of fluorescein-conjugated adenosine residues from the 3' end of the RNA substrate is monitored by a time-dependent decrease in fluorescence anisotropy in the presence of cytosolic proteins. To demonstrate the utility of the assay, an RNA probe was constructed containing a fragment of the c-myc 3' untranslated region and an 85-base poly(A) tail. Following 3' fluorescein labeling, the rate of 3'-terminal adenosine excision was monitored in the presence of an S100 cytosolic extract prepared from K562 erythroleukemia cells. Removal of the fluorescein-tagged A residues resolved to a first-order decay function, allowing the rate constant and enzyme-specific activity to be determined in this extract. Further applications and advantages of this technology are discussed.
