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 peptidyl transferase center of the modern ribosome has been found to encompass an area of twofold pseudosymmetry (SymR). This observation strongly suggests that the very core of the ribosome arose from a dimerization event between two modest-sized RNAs. It was previously shown that at least four non-standard interactions exist between the two halves of SymR. Herein, we verify that the structure of the SymR is highly conserved with respect to both ribosome transition state and phylogenetic diversity. These comparisons also reveal two additional sites of interaction between the two halves of SymR and refine our understanding of the previously known interactions. In addition, the possible role that magnesium may have in the coordination, stabilization, association, and evolutionary history of the two halves (A-region and P-region) was examined. Together, the results identify a likely site where structural elements and Mg
