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 function of RNA switches involved in the regulation of transcription and translation relies on their ability to adopt different, structurally well-defined states. A new class of ligand-responsive RNA switches, which we recently discovered in positive strand RNA viruses, are distinct from conventional riboswitches. The viral switches undergo large conformational changes in response to ligand binding while retaining the same secondary structure in their free and ligand-bound forms. Here, we describe FRET experiments to study folding and ligand binding of the viral RNA switches. In addition to reviewing previous approaches involving RNA model constructs which were directly conjugated with fluorescent dyes, we outline the design and application of new modular constructs for FRET experiments, in which dye labeling is achieved by hybridization of a core RNA switch module with universal DNA fluorescent probes. As an example, folding and ligand binding of the RNA switch from the internal ribosome entry site of hepatitis C virus is studied comparatively with conventional and modular FRET constructs.
