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

Vertebrate U17 RNA is an intron-encoded H/CA box containing snoRNA, which has been intensively studied in the last decade, though its precise role in ribosome biogenesis is not yet clear. A consensus secondary structure for the U17 RNA molecule has been derived from the comparative sequence and structural evolution analysis of U17 snoRNA among vertebrates. Its phylogenetic congruence above class level has been tested and preliminary data on chelonians suggest that also in this order, U17 snoRNA evolved congruently with phylogeny. We herein extend our analysis to other components of this reptile group. According to the sequence data that have also emerged from chelonians, the U17 RNA molecule can be divided into two main domains: the 5'-variable domain, which presents the sequence motifs capable of base-pairing with the 18S rRNA target and spanning STEM1, -2, and -3, and the 3'-conserved domain, consisting of STEM4. In vertebrates, the latter RNA region shows a high conservation both in secondary structure and in the presence of the three sequence motifs 5'-AUUCCUA-3', 5'-U(G/U)ACU-3', and 5'-AACCC-3'. We tested the phylogenetic congruence of U17 evolution with chelonian relationships: Our results are significantly similar to those emerging from mtDNA and morphological systematics. Some discrepancies (e.g., the position of Platysternon) need to be addressed in greater depth.
