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

Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) biology is a rapidly growing area of study. Thousands of lncRNAs are implicated as key players in cellular pathways and cancer biology. However, the structure-function relationships of these novel biomolecules are not well understood. Recent structural studies suggest that lncRNAs contain modular structural domains, which play a crucial role in their function. Here, we hypothesized that such structural domains exist in lncTCF7, a conserved lncRNA implicated in the development and progression of several cancers. To understand the structure-function relationship of lncTCF7, we characterized its secondary structure using chemical probing methods. Our model revealed structural domains and conserved regions in lncTCF7. One of the modular domains identified here coincides with a known protein-interacting domain. The model reported herein is, to our knowledge, the first structural model of lncTCF7 and thus will serve to direct future studies that will provide fundamental insights into the function of this lncRNA.
