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

Selenomethionine incorporation has proven useful in X-ray crystallography of proteins to obtain phase information. In nucleic acids, the introduction of selenium to different positions is beneficial for solving the phase problem as well, but its addition to the 2' position also significantly enhances the crystal formation. The selenium modification in a single nucleotide shows a preference towards 2'-endo sugar puckering, which is in conflict with existing crystal structures where the duplex incorporated 2'-selenium-modified nucleotide is exclusively found in a 3'-endo conformation. Our work provides a rationale why 2'-selenium modifications facilitate crystallization despite this contradictory behavior.
