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

Most functional RNAs require proteins to facilitate formation of their active structures. In the case of the yeast bI3 group I intron, splicing requires binding by two proteins, the intron-encoded bI3 maturase and the nuclear encoded Mrs1. Here, we use selective 2'-hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension (SHAPE) chemistry coupled with analysis of point mutants to map long-range interactions in this RNA. This analysis reveals two critical features of the free RNA state. First, the catalytic intron is separated from the flanking exons via a stable anchoring helix. This anchoring helix creates an autonomous structural domain for the intron and functions to prevent misfolding with the flanking exons. Second, the thermodynamically most stable structure for the free RNA is not consistent with the catalytically active conformation as phylogenetically conserved elements form stable, non-native structures. These results highlight a fragile bI3 RNA for which binding by protein cofactors functions to promote extensive secondary structure rearrangements that are an obligatory prerequisite for forming the catalytically active tertiary structure.
