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 hairpin ribozyme can catalyze the cleavage of RNA substrates by employing its conformational flexibility. To form a catalytic complex, the two domains A and B of the hairpin-ribozyme complex must interact with one another in a folding step called docking. We have constructed hairpin ribozyme variants harboring an aptamer sequence that can be allosterically induced by flavin mononucleotide (FMN). Domains A and B are separated by distinct bridge sequences that communicate the formation of the FMN-aptamer complex to domains A and B, facilitating their docking. In the presence of a short oligonucleotide that is complementary to the aptamer, catalytic activity of the ribozyme is completely abolished, due to the formation of an extended conformer that cannot perform catalysis. However, in the presence of the small molecule effector FMN, the inhibitory effect of the oligonucleotide is competitively neutralized and the ribozyme is activated 150-fold. We thus have established a new principle for the regulation of ribozyme catalysis in which two regulatory factors (an oligonucleotide and a small molecule) that switch the ribozyme's activity in opposite directions compete for the same binding site in the aptamer domain.
