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

Internal loops in RNA are important for folding and function. Consecutive noncanonical pairs can form in internal loops having at least two nucleotides on each side. Thermodynamic and structural insights into such internal loops should improve approximations for their stabilities and predictions of secondary and three-dimensional structures. Most natural internal loops are purine rich. A series of oligoribonucleotides that form purine-rich internal loops of 5-10 nucleotides, including kink-turn loops, were studied by UV melting, exchangeable proton and phosphorus NMR. Three consecutive GA pairs with the motif 5' Y GGA/3' R AAG or GGA R 3'/AAG Y 5' (i.e., 5' GGA 3'/3' AAG 5' closed on at least one side with a CG, UA, or UG pair with Y representing C or U and R representing A or G) stabilize internal loops having 6-10 nucleotides. Certain motifs with two consecutive GA pairs are also stabilizing. In internal loops with three or more nucleotides on each side, the motif 5' U G/3' G A has stability similar to 5' C G/3' G A. A revised model for predicting stabilities of internal loops with 6-10 nucleotides is derived by multiple linear regression. Loops with 2 x 3 nucleotides are predicted well by a previous thermodynamic model.
