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

Because oxygen and selenium are in the same group (Family VI) in the periodic table, the site-specific mutagenesis at the atomic level by replacing RNA oxygen with selenium can provide insights on the structure and function of catalytic RNAs. We report here the first Se-derivatized ribozymes transcribed with all nucleoside 5'-(alpha-P-seleno)triphosphates (NTPalphaSe, including A, C, G, and U). We found that T7 RNA polymerase recognizes NTPalphaSe Sp diastereomers as well as the natural NTPs, whereas NTPalphaSe Rp diastereomers are neither substrates nor inhibitors. We also demonstrated the catalytic activity of these Se-derivatized hammerhead ribozymes by cleaving the RNA substrate, and we found that these phosphoroselenoate ribozymes can be as active as the native one. These hammerhead ribozymes site-specifically mutagenized by selenium reveal the close relationship between the catalytic activities and the replaced oxygen atoms, which provides insight on the participation of oxygen in catalysis or intramolecular interaction. This demonstrates a convenient strategy for the mechanistic study of functional RNAs. In addition, the active ribozymes site-specifically derivatized by selenium will allow for convenient MAD phasing in X-ray crystal structure studies.
