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

Binding of small oligonucleotides to the periphery of folded RNA can provide insight into the secondary structure of complex RNA in solution. To discriminate between bound and unbound fluorescein-labeled 2'-O-methyl RNA probes, we use ionically coated gold nanoparticles to selectively adsorb unbound probes and quench their fluorescence. The target is the 3' untranslated region of Bombyx mori R2 RNA. Fluorescence indicates that R2 sequences complementary to some of the probes are accessible for binding in the three-dimensional structure. Hybridization occurs under homogeneous conditions in the absence of the gold nanoparticles so that steric issues associated with chip-based assays are avoided. The assay is compatible with well plate formats, takes less than 5 min, and requires only 2 pmol or less of unlabeled target RNA per probe sequence tested.
