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

backgroundMany studies have found functional RNA secondary structures are selectively conserved among species. But, the effect of RNA structure selection on coding sequence evolution remains unknown. To address this problem, we systematically investigated the relationship between nucleotide conservation level and its structural sensitivity in four model organisms, Escherichia coli, yeast, fly, and mouse.

resultsWe define structurally sensitive sites as those with putative local structure-disruptive mutations. Using both the Mantel-Haenszel procedure and association test, we found structurally sensitive nucleotide sites evolved more slowly than non-sensitive sites in all four organisms. Furthermore, we observed that this association is more obvious in highly expressed genes and region near the start codon.

conclusionWe conclude that structurally sensitive sites in mRNA sequences normally have less nucleotide divergence in all species we analyzed. This study extends our understanding of the impact of RNA structure on coding sequence evolution, and is helpful to the development of a codon model with RNA structure information.
