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

Knot polynomials have been used to detect and classify knots in biomolecules. Computation of knot polynomials in DNA and protein molecules have revealed the existence of knotted structures, and provided important insight into their topological structures. However, conventional knot polynomials are not well suited to study RNA molecules, as RNA structures are determined by stem regions which are not taken into account in conventional knot polynomials. In this study, we develop a new class of knot polynomials specifically designed to study RNA molecules, which considers stem regions. We demonstrate that our knot polynomials have direct structural relation with RNA molecules, and can be used to classify the topology of RNA secondary structures. Furthermore, we point out that these knot polynomials can be used to model the topological effects of disulfide bonds in protein molecules.
