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 molecules undergo local conformational dynamics on timescales spanning picoseconds to minutes. Slower local motions have the greater potential to govern RNA folding, ligand recognition, and ribonucleoprotein assembly reactions but are difficult to detect in large RNAs with complex structures. RNA SHAPE chemistry employs acylation of the ribose 2'-hydroxyl position to measure local nucleotide flexibility in RNA and is well-characterized by a mechanism in which each nucleotide samples unreactive (closed) and reactive (open) states. We monitor RNA conformational dynamics over distinct time domains by varying the electrophilicity of the acylating reagent. Select C2'-endo nucleotides are nonreactive toward fast reagents but reactive toward slower SHAPE reagents in both model RNAs and in a large RNA with a tertiary fold. We conclude, first, that the C2'-endo conformation by itself does not govern SHAPE reactivity. However, some C2'-endo nucleotides undergo extraordinarily slow conformational changes, on the order of 10(-4) s(-1). Due to their distinctive local dynamics, C2'-endo nucleotides have the potential to function as rate-determining molecular switches and are likely to play central, currently unexplored, roles in RNA folding and function.
