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

The VS ribozyme comprises five helical segments (II-VI) in a formal H shape, organized by two three-way junctions. It interacts with its stem-loop substrate (I) by tertiary interactions. We have determined the global shape of the 3-4-5 junction (relating helices III-V) by electrophoresis and FRET. Estimation of the dihedral angle between helices II and V electrophoretically has allowed us to build a model for the global structure of the complete ribozyme. We propose that the substrate is docked into a cleft between helices II and VI, with its loop making a tertiary interaction with that of helix V. This is consistent with the dependence of activity on the length of helix III. The scissile phosphate is well placed to interact with the probable active site of the ribozyme, the loop containing A730.
