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

We describe a chemical coupling procedure that allows joining of two RNAs, one of which contains a site-specific base analog substitution, in the absence of divalent ions. This method allows incorporation of nucleotide analogs at specific positions even into large, cis-cleaving ribozymes. Using this method we have studied the effects of substitution of G638 in the cleavage site loop of the VS ribozyme with a variety of purine analogs having different functional groups and pK(a) values. Cleavage rate versus pH profiles combined with kinetic solvent isotope experiments indicate an important role for G638 in proton transfer during the rate-limiting step of the cis-cleavage reaction.
