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 molecules play many pivotal roles in a cell that are still not fully understood. Any detailed understanding of RNA function requires knowledge of its three-dimensional structure, yet experimental RNA structure resolution remains demanding. Recent advances in sequencing provide unprecedented amounts of sequence data that can be statistically analyzed by methods such as direct coupling analysis (DCA) to determine spatial proximity or contacts of specific nucleic acid pairs, which improve the quality of structure prediction. To quantify this structure prediction improvement, we here present a well curated data set of about 70 RNA structures of high resolution and compare different nucleotide-nucleotide contact prediction methods available in the literature. We observe only minor differences between the performances of the different methods. Moreover, we discuss how robust these predictions are for different contact definitions and how strongly they depend on procedures used to curate and align the families of homologous RNA sequences.
