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 large number of currently available group I intron sequences in the public databases provides opportunity for studying this large family of structurally complex catalytic RNA by large-scale comparative sequence analysis. In this study, the detailed secondary structures of 211 group I introns in the IE subgroup were manually predicted. The secondary structure-favored alignments showed that IE introns contain 14 conserved stems. The P13 stem formed by long-range base-pairing between P2.1 and P9.1 is conserved among IE introns. Sequence variations in the conserved core divide IE introns into three distinct minor subgroups, namely IE1, IE2 and IE3. Co-variation of the peripheral structural motifs with core sequences supports that the peripheral elements function in assisting the core structure folding. Interestingly, host-specific structural motifs were found in IE2 introns inserted at S516 position. Competitive base-pairing is found to be conserved at the junctions of all long-range paired regions, suggesting a possible mechanism of establishing long-range base-pairing during large RNA folding. These findings extend our knowledge of IE introns, indicating that comparative analysis can be a very good complement for deepening our understanding of RNA structure and function in the genomic era.
