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 production using in vivo transcription by Escherichia coli allows preparation of milligram quantities of RNA for biochemical, biophysical and structural investigations. We describe here a generic protocol for the overproduction and purification of recombinant RNA using liquid chromatography. The strategy utilizes a transfer RNA (tRNA) as a scaffold that can be removed from the RNA of interest by digestion of the fusion RNA at a designed site by RNase H. The tRNA scaffold serves to enhance the stability and to promote the proper expression of its fusion partners. This protocol describes how to construct a tRNA fusion RNA expression vector; to conduct a pilot experiment to assess the yield of the recombinant RNA both before and after processing of the fusion RNA by RNase H; and to purify the target RNA on a large scale for structural or functional studies. This protocol greatly facilitates production of RNA in a time frame of approximately 3 weeks from design to purification. As compared with in vitro methods (transcription, chemical synthesis), this approach is simple, cheap and well suited for large-scale expression and isotope labeling.
