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

Single-stranded nucleic acids (ssNAs) are ubiquitous in many key cellular functions. Their flexibility limits both the number of high-resolution structures available, leaving only a small number of protein-ssNA crystal structures, while forcing solution investigations to report ensemble averages. A description of the conformational distributions of ssNAs is essential to more fully characterize biologically relevant interactions. We combine small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) with ensemble-optimization methods (EOM) to dynamically build and refine sets of ssNA structures. By constructing candidate chains in representative dinucleotide steps and refining the models against SAXS data, a broad array of structures can be obtained to match varying solution conditions and strand sequences. In addition to the distribution of large scale structural parameters, this approach reveals, for the first time, intricate details of the phosphate backbone and underlying strand conformations. Such information on unperturbed strands will critically inform a detailed understanding of an array of problems including protein-ssNA binding, RNA folding and the polymer nature of NAs. In addition, this scheme, which couples EOM selection with an iteratively refining pool to give confidence in the underlying structures, is likely extendable to the study of other flexible systems.
