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 right angle (RA) motif, previously identified in the ribosome and used as a structural module for nano-construction, is a recurrent structural motif of 13 nucleotides that establishes a 90° bend between two adjacent helices. Comparative sequence analysis was used to explore the sequence space of the RA motif within ribosomal RNAs in order to define its canonical sequence space signature. We investigated the sequence constraints associated with the RA signature using several artificial self-assembly systems. Thermodynamic and topological investigations of sequence variants associated with the RA motif in both minimal and expanded structural contexts reveal that the presence of a helix at the 3' end of the RA motif increases the thermodynamic stability and rigidity of the resulting three-helix junction domain. A search for the RA in naturally occurring RNAs as well as its experimental characterization led to the identification of the RA in groups IC1 and ID intron ribozymes, where it is suggested to play an integral role in stabilizing peripheral structural domains. The present study exemplifies the need of empirical analysis of RNA structural motifs for facilitating the rational design and structure prediction of RNAs.
