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

In this study, we construct novel RNA nanoclusters, RNA nanotubes made of several nanorings up to the size of 20 nm, utilizing the molecular dynamics simulation, and study their structural properties [i.e., the root mean square deviation, the radius of gyration and the radial distribution function (RDF)] in physiological solutions that can be used for drug delivery into the human body. The patterns of energy and temperature variations of the systems are also discussed. Furthermore, we study the concentration of ions around the tube as a function of time at a particular temperature. We have found that when the temperature increases, the number of ions increases within a certain distance of the tube. We report that the number of ions within this distance around the tubes decreases in quenched runs. This indicates that some ions evaporate with decrease in temperature, as has been observed in the case of the nanoring. RDF plots also demonstrate a similar trend with temperature, as was found in the case of RNA nanorings.
