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 kinetic pathway of a trans-acting delta ribozyme includes an essential structural rearrangement involving the P1 stem, a stem that is formed between the substrate and the ribozyme. We performed cross-linking experiments to determine the substrate position within the catalytic center of an antigenomic, trans-acting, delta ribozyme. Substrates that included a 4-thiouridine either in position -1, +4, or +8 (i.e., adjacent to the cleavage site, or located either in the middle of or at the 3'-end of the P1 stem, respectively) were synthesized and shown to be efficiently cleaved. Examination of the cross-linking conditions, the use of various mutated ribozymes, as well as the probing and characterization of the resulting ribozyme-substrate complexes, revealed several new features of the molecular mechanism: (1) the close proximity of several bases between nucleotides of the substrate and ribozyme; (2) the active ribozyme-substrate complex folds in a manner that docks the middle of the P1 stem on the P3 stem, while concomitantly the scissile phosphate is in close proximity to the catalytic cytosine; and, (3) some complexes appear to be compatible with being active intermediates along the folding pathway, while others seem to correspond to misfolded structures. To provide a model representation of these data, a three-dimensional structure of the delta ribozyme was developed using several RNA bioinformatic software packages.
