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

Coarse-grained RNA folding models promise great potential for RNA structure prediction. A key component in a coarse-grained folding model is the force field. One of the challenges in the coarse-grained force field calculation is how to treat the correlation between the different degrees of freedoms. Here, we describe a new approach (IsRNA) to extract the correlated energy functions from the known structures. Through iterative molecular dynamics simulations, we build the correlation effects into the reference states, from which we extract the energy functions. The validity of IsRNA is supported by the close agreement between the simulated Boltzmann-like probability distributions for all the structure parameters and those observed from the experimentally determined structures. The correlated energy functions derived here may provide a new tool for RNA 3D structure prediction.
