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

The biological functions of RNA range from gene regulation through catalysis and depend critically on its structure and flexibility. Conformational variations of flexible, non-base-paired components, including RNA hinges, bulges, or single-stranded tails, are well documented. Recent work has also identified variations in the structure of ubiquitous, base-paired duplexes found in almost all functional RNAs. Duplexes anchor the structures of folded RNAs, and their surface features are recognized by partner molecules. To date, no consistent picture has been obtained that describes the range of conformations assumed by RNA duplexes. Here, we apply wide angle, solution X-ray scattering (WAXS) to quantify these variations, by sampling length scales characteristic of helical geometries under different solution conditions. To identify the radius, helical rise, twist, and length of dsRNA helices, we exploit molecular dynamics generated structures, explicit solvent models, and ensemble optimization methods. Our results quantify the substantial and salt-dependent deviations of double-stranded (ds) RNA duplexes from the assumed canonical A-form conformation. Recent experiments underscore the need to properly describe the structures of RNA duplexes when interpreting the salt dependence of RNA conformations.
