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

Nucleobase methylations are ubiquitous posttranscriptional modifications of ribonucleic acids (RNA) that can substantially increase the structural diversity of RNA in a highly dynamic fashion with implications for gene expression and human disease. However, high throughput, deep sequencing does not generally provide information on posttranscriptional modifications (PTMs). A promising alternative approach for the characterization of PTMs, i.e. their identification, localization, and relative quantitation, is top-down mass spectrometry (MS). In this study, we have investigated how specific nucleobase methylations affect RNA ionization in electrospray ionization (ESI), and backbone cleavage in collisionally activated dissociation (CAD) and electron detachment dissociation (EDD). For this purpose, we have developed two new approaches for the characterization of RNA methylations in mixtures of either isomers of RNA or nonisomeric RNA forms. Fragment ions from dissociation experiments were analyzed to identify the modification type, to localize the modification sites, and to reveal the site-specific, relative extent of modification for each site.
