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

Methods for fluorescent probing at a defined position of RNA provide powerful tools for analyzing the local structural conformation of functional RNA molecules by tracking fluorescence changes. In this article, we describe the site-specific fluorescent probing of RNA by transcription with an expanded genetic alphabet, using an extra, unnatural base pair between 2-amino-6-(2-thienyl)purine (s) and pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde (Pa). The protocol comprises template DNA preparation containing Pa, transcription involving fluorescent s incorporation and structural analysis of transcripts. The s base is strongly fluorescent, and its nucleoside 5'-triphosphate is site-specifically incorporated into RNA transcripts, opposite Pa in DNA templates, by conventional T7 transcription. The fluorescent intensity of s changes depending on its environment around the probe site, providing clues about the local structural features of RNA molecules. This is the first protocol for RNA transcript preparation with fluorescent labeling at a desired position. The procedure for s-containing RNA preparation takes about 2-3 d.
