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 bacterial toxin RelE cleaves mRNA in the ribosomal A site. Although it shares a global fold with other microbial RNases, the active site contains several positively charged residues instead of histidines and glutamates that are typical of ribonucleases. The pH dependences of wild-type and mutant RelE indicate it uses general acid-base catalysis, but either the general acid (proposed to be R81) or the general base must have a substantially downshifted p
