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 structure underpins many essential functions in biology. New chemical reagents and techniques for probing RNA structure in living cells have emerged in recent years. High-throughput, genome-wide techniques such as Structure-seq2 and DMS-MaPseq exploit nucleobase modification by dimethylsulfate (DMS) to obtain complete structuromes, and are applicable to multiple domains of life and conditions. New reagents such as 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC), glyoxal, and nicotinoyl azide (NAz) greatly expand the capabilities of nucleobase probing in cells. Additionally, ribose-targeting reagents in selective 2'-hydroxyl acylation and primer extension (SHAPE) detect RNA flexibility in vivo. These techniques, coupled with crosslinking nucleobases in psoralen analysis of RNA interactions and structures (PARIS), provide new and diverse ways to elucidate RNA secondary and tertiary structure in vivo and genome-wide.
