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

Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing is a post-transcriptional processing event involved in diversifying the transcriptome responsible for various biological processes. Although bioinformatic approaches have predicted a number of A-to-I editing sites in cDNAs, the human transcriptome is thought to still harbor large numbers of as-yet-unknown editing sites. Exploring new editing sites requires a biochemical method to accurately identify inosines on RNA strands. We here describe a chemical method to identify inosines, called inosine chemical erasing (ICE), that is based on cyanoethylation combined with reverse transcription. We carried out a large-scale verification of the ICE method focusing on 642 regions in human cDNA and identified 5,072 editing sites, including 4,395 new sites. Functional study revealed that A-to-I intronic editing in the SARS gene mediated by ADAR1 is involved in preventing aberrant exonization of Alu sequence into mature mRNA.
