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 GTPase Center (GAC) RNA domain in bacterial 23S rRNA is directly bound by ribosomal protein L11, and this complex is essential to ribosome function. Previous cocrystal structures of the 58-nucleotide GAC RNA bound to L11 revealed the intricate tertiary fold of the RNA domain, with one monovalent and several divalent ions located in specific sites within the structure. Here, we report a new crystal structure of the free GAC that is essentially identical to the L11-bound structure, which retains many common sites of divalent ion occupation. This new structure demonstrates that RNA alone folds into its tertiary structure with bound divalent ions. In solution, we find that this tertiary structure is not static, but rather is best described as an ensemble of states. While L11 protein cannot bind to the GAC until the RNA has adopted its tertiary structure, new experimental data show that L11 binds to Mg
