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

Biocatalysis is dominated by protein enzymes, and only a few classes of ribozymes are known to contribute to the task of promoting biochemical transformations. The RNA World theory encompasses the notion that earlier forms of life made use of a much greater diversity of ribozymes and other functional RNAs to guide complex metabolic states long before proteins had emerged in evolution. In recent years, the discoveries of various classes of ribozymes, riboswitches, and other noncoding RNAs in bacteria have provided additional support for the hypothesis that RNA molecules indeed have the catalytic competence to promote diverse chemical reactions without the aid of protein enzymes. Herein, some of the most striking observations made from examinations of natural riboswitches that bind small ligands are highlighted and used as a basis to imagine the characteristics and functions of long-extinct ribozymes from the RNA World.
