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

RNA structures possess multiple levels of structural organization. A secondary structure, made of Watson-Crick helices connected by loops, forms a scaffold for the tertiary structure. The 3D structures adopted by these loops are therefore critical determinants shaping the global 3D architecture. Earlier studies showed that these local 3D structures can be described as conserved sets of ordered non-Watson-Crick base pairs called RNA structural modules. Unfortunately, the computational efficiency and scope of the current 3D module identification methods are too limited yet to benefit from all the knowledge accumulated in the module databases. We present BayesPairing, an automated, efficient and customizable tool for (i) building Bayesian networks representing RNA 3D modules and (ii) rapid identification of 3D modules in sequences. BayesPairing uses a flexible definition of RNA 3D modules that allows us to consider complex architectures such as multi-branched loops and features multiple algorithmic improvements. We benchmarked our methods using cross-validation techniques on 3409 RNA chains and show that BayesPairing achieves up to ∼70% identification accuracy on module positions and base pair interactions. BayesPairing can handle a broader range of motifs (versatility) and offers considerable running time improvements (efficiency), opening the door to a broad range of large-scale applications.
