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

T. brucei survival relies on the expression of mitochondrial genes, most of which require RNA editing to become translatable. In trypanosomes, RNA editing involves the insertion and deletion of uridylates, a developmentally regulated process directed by guide RNAs (gRNAs) and catalyzed by the editosome, a complex of proteins. The pathway for mRNA/gRNA complex formation and assembly with the editosome is still unknown. Work from our laboratory has suggested that distinct mRNA/gRNA complexes anneal to form a conserved core structure that may be important for editosome assembly. The secondary structure for the apocytochrome b (CYb) pair has been previously determined and is consistent with our model of a three-helical structure. Here, we used cross-linking and solution structure probing experiments to determine the structure of the ATPase subunit 6 (A6) mRNA hybridized to its cognate gA6-14 gRNA in different stages of editing. Our results indicate that both unedited and partially edited A6/gA6-14 pairs fold into a three-helical structure similar to the previously characterized CYb/gCYb-558 pair. These results lead us to conclude that at least two mRNA/gRNA pairs with distinct editing sites and distinct primary sequences fold to a three-helical secondary configuration that persists through the first few editing events.
