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 ribosome and RNase P are cellular ribonucleoprotein complexes that perform peptide bond synthesis and phosphodiester bond cleavage, respectively. Both are ancient biological assemblies that were already present in the last universal common ancestor of all life. The large subunit rRNA in the ribosome and the RNA subunit of RNase P are the ribozyme components required for catalysis. Here, we explore the idea that these two large ribozymes may have begun their evolutionary odyssey as an assemblage of RNA "fragments" smaller than the contemporary full-length versions and that they transitioned through distinct stages along a pathway that may also be relevant for the evolution of other non-coding RNAs.
