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

Transfer RNA (tRNA) have been harbingers of many paradigms in RNA biology. They are among the first recognized noncoding RNA (ncRNA) playing fundamental roles in RNA metabolism. Although mainly recognized for their role in decoding mRNA and delivering amino acids to the growing polypeptide chain, tRNA also serve as an abundant source of small ncRNA named tRNA fragments. The functional significance of these fragments is only beginning to be uncovered. Early on, tRNA were recognized as heavily post-transcriptionally modified, which aids in proper folding and modulates the tRNA:mRNA anticodon-codon interactions. Emerging data suggest that these modifications play critical roles in the generation and activity of tRNA fragments. Modifications can both protect tRNA from cleavage or promote their cleavage. Modifications to individual fragments may be required for their activity. Recent work has shown that some modifications are critical for stem cell development and that failure to deposit certain modifications has profound effects on disease. This review will discuss how tRNA modifications regulate the generation and activity of tRNA fragments.
