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

We use a combination of database analysis and quantum chemical studies to investigate the role of cis and trans Hoogsteen:Hoogsteen (H:H) base pairs and associated higher-order structures in RNA. We add three new examples to the list of previously identified base-pair combinations belonging to these families and, in addition to contextual classification and characterization of their structural and energetic features, we compare their interbase interaction energies and propensities toward participation in triplets and quartets. We find that some base pairs, which are nonplanar in their isolated minimum energy geometries, attain planarity and stability upon triplet formation. A:A H:H trans is the most frequent H:H combination in RNA structures. This base pair occurs at many distinct positions in known rRNA structures, where it helps in the interaction of ribosomal domains in the 50S subunit. It is also present as a part of tertiary interaction in tRNA structures. Although quantum chemical studies suggest an intrinsically nonplanar geometry for this base pair in isolated form, it has the tendency to attain planar geometry in RNA crystal structures by forming higher-order tertiary interactions or in the presence of additional base-phosphate interactions. The tendency of this base pair to form such additional interactions may be helpful in bringing together different segments of RNA, thus making it suitable for the role of facilitator for RNA folding. This also explains the high occurrence frequency of this base pair among all H:H interactions.
