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

RNAs play pivotal roles in the cell, ranging from catalysis (e.g., RNase P), acting as adaptor molecule (tRNA) to regulation (e.g., riboswitches). Precise understanding of its three-dimensional structures has given unprecedented insight into the molecular basis for all of these processes. Nevertheless, structural studies on RNA are still limited by the very special nature of this polymer. The most common methods for the determination of 3D RNA structures are NMR and X-ray crystallography. Both methods have their own set of requirements and give different amounts of information about the target RNA. For structural studies, the major bottleneck is usually obtaining large amounts of highly pure and homogeneously folded RNA. Especially for X-ray crystallography it can be necessary to screen a large number of variants to obtain well-ordered single crystals. In this mini-review we give an overview about strategies for the design, in vitro production, and purification of RNA for structural studies.
