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

The structure and flexibility of the RNA duplex has been studied using extended molecular dynamics simulations on four diverse 18-mer oligonucleotides designed to contain many copies of the 10 unique dinucleotide steps in different sequence environments. Simulations were performed using the two most popular force fields for nucleic acids simulations (AMBER and CHARMM) in their latest versions, trying to arrive to a consensus picture of the RNA flexibility. Contrary to what was found for DNA duplex (DNA(2)), no clear convergence is found for the RNA duplex (RNA(2)), but one of the force field seems to agree better with experimental data. MD simulations performed with this force field were used to fully characterize, for the first time to our knowledge, the sequence-dependent elastic properties of RNA duplexes at different levels of resolutions. The flexibility pattern of RNA(2) shows similarities with DNA(2), but also surprising differences, which help us to understand the different biological functions of both molecules. A full mesoscopic model of RNA duplex at different resolution levels is derived to be used for genome-wide description of the flexibility of double-helical fragments of RNA.
