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

A small ribozyme ligase (L1) selected from a random sequence population appears to utilize non-Watson-Crick base pairs at its ligation junction. Mutational and selection analyses confirmed the presence of these base pairings. Randomization of the L1 core and selection of active ligases yielded highly active variants whose rates were on the order of 1 min(-1). Base-pairing covariations confirmed the general secondary structure of the ligase, and the most active ligases contained a novel pentuple sequence covariation. The optimized L1 ligases may be optimal within their sequence spaces, and minimal ligases that span less than 60 nt in length have been engineered based on these results.
