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

Capturing the folding dynamics of large, functionally important RNAs has relied primarily on global measurements of structure or on per-nucleotide chemical probing. These approaches infer, but do not directly measure, through-space structural interactions. Here we introduce trimethyloxonium (TMO) as a chemical probe for RNA. TMO alkylates RNA at high levels in seconds, and thereby enables time-resolved, single-molecule, through-space probing of RNA folding using the RING-MaP correlated chemical probing framework. Time-resolved correlations in the RNase P RNA-a functional RNA with a complex structure stabilized by multiple noncanonical interactions-revealed that a long-range tertiary interaction guides native RNA folding for both secondary and tertiary structure. This unanticipated nonhierarchical folding mechanism was directly validated by examining the consequences of concise disruption of the through-space interaction. Single-molecule, time-resolved RNA structure probing with TMO is poised to reveal a wide range of dynamic RNA folding processes and principles of RNA folding.
