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

Bacterial RNase III plays important roles in the processing and degradation of RNA transcripts. A major goal is to identify the cleavage targets of this endoribonuclease at a transcriptome-wide scale and delineate its in vivo cleavage rules. Here we applied to Escherichia coli grown to either exponential or stationary phase a tailored RNA-seq-based technology, which allows transcriptome-wide mapping of RNase III cleavage sites at a nucleotide resolution. Our analysis of the large-scale in vivo cleavage data substantiated the established cleavage pattern of a double cleavage in an intra-molecular stem structure, leaving 2-nt-long 3' overhangs, and refined the base-pairing preferences in the cleavage site vicinity. Intriguingly, we observed that the two stem positions between the cleavage sites are highly base-paired, usually involving at least one G-C or C-G base pair. We present a clear distinction between intra-molecular stem structures that are RNase III substrates and intra-molecular stem structures randomly selected across the transcriptome, emphasizing the in vivo specificity of RNase III. Our study provides a comprehensive map of the cleavage sites in both intra-molecular and inter-molecular duplex substrates, providing novel insights into the involvement of RNase III in post-transcriptional regulation in the bacterial cell.
