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

Structural 3D motifs in RNA play an important role in the RNA stability and function. Previous studies have focused on the characterization and discovery of 3D motifs in RNA secondary and tertiary structures. However, statistical analyses of the distribution of 3D motifs along the RNA appear to be lacking. Herein, we present a novel strategy for evaluating the distribution of 3D motifs along the RNA chain and those motifs whose distributions are significantly non-random are identified. By applying it to the X-ray structure of the large ribosomal subunit from Haloarcula marismortui, helical motifs were found to cluster together along the chain and in the 3D structure, whereas the known tetraloops tend to be sequentially and spatially dispersed. That the distribution of key structural motifs such as tetraloops differ significantly from a random one suggests that our method could also be used to detect novel 3D motifs of any size in sufficiently long/large RNA structures. The motif distribution type can help in the prediction and design of 3D structures of large RNA molecules.
