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

5-Methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), two of the best-studied DNA modifications, play crucial roles in normal development and disease in mammals. Although 5-methylcytidine (m5C) and 5-hydroxymethylcytidine (hm5C) have also been identified in RNA, their distribution and biological function in RNA remain largely unexplored, due to the lack of suitable sequencing methods. Here, we report a base-resolution sequencing method for hm5C in RNA. We applied the selective oxidation of hm5C to trihydroxylated-thymine (thT) mediated by peroxotungstate. thT was subsequently converted to T during cDNA synthesis using a thermostable group II intron reverse transcriptase (TGIRT). Base-resolution analysis of the hm5C sites in RNA was performed using Sanger sequencing. Furthermore, in combination with the TET enzyme oxidation of m5C to hm5C in RNA, we expand the use of peroxotungstate oxidation to detect m5C in RNA at base-resolution. By using this method, we confirmed three known m5C sites in human tRNA, demonstrating the applicability of our method in analyzing real RNA samples.
