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

Novel ribozymes that couple the cleavage activity of hammerhead ribozymes with the unwinding activity of RNA helicase eIF4AI were constructed. This leads to extremely efficient cleavage of the target mRNA, regardless of the secondary structure of the RNA, and eliminates one of the major problems: many target sites on the RNA were previously inaccessible to cleavage due to secondary and/or tertiary structure formation. Moreover, libraries of hybrid ribozymes with randomized binding arms were introduced into cells. This procedure made it possible to readily identify the relevant genes associated with phenotype. Specifically, four genes known to be in the Fas-mediated apoptosis pathway were identified along with additional genes. This application of a randomized library of hybrid ribozymes represents a simple, powerful method for the identification of genes associated with specific phenotypes in the post-genome era.
