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 order to carry out biological functions, RNA molecules must fold into specific three-dimensional (3D) structures. Current experimental methods to determine RNA 3D structures are expensive and time consuming. With the recent advances in computational biology, RNA structure prediction is becoming increasingly reliable. This chapter describes a recently developed RNA structure prediction software, Vfold, a virtual bond-based RNA folding model. The main features of Vfold are the physics-based loop free energy calculations for various RNA structure motifs and a template-based assembly method for RNA 3D structure prediction. For illustration, we use the yybP-ykoY Orphan riboswitch as an example to show the implementation of the Vfold model in RNA structure prediction from the sequence.
