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

RNA catalysis is important in the processing and translation of RNA molecules, yet the mechanisms of catalysis are still unclear in most cases. We have studied the role of nucleobase catalysis in the hairpin ribozyme, where the scissile phosphate is juxtaposed between guanine and adenine bases. We show that a modified ribozyme in which guanine 8 has been substituted by an imidazole base is active in both cleavage and ligation, with ligation rates 10-fold faster than cleavage. The rates of both reactions exhibit bell-shaped dependence on pH, with pK(a) values of 5.7 +/- 0.1 and 7.7 +/- 0.1 for cleavage and 6.1 +/- 0.3 and 6.9 +/- 0.3 for ligation. The data provide good evidence for general acid-base catalysis by the nucleobases.
