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

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) has been known to drive formation of biomolecular compartments, which can encapsulate RNA and proteins among other cosolutes. Such compartments, which lack a lipid membrane, have been implicated in origins of life scenarios as they can easily uptake and concentrate biomolecules, similar to intracellular condensates. Indeed, chemical interactions that drive LLPS in vitro have also been shown to lead to similar sub-cellular compartments in vivo. Here we describe methods to prepare compartments formed by complex coacervates, which are driven by LLPS of oppositely-charged polyions, and to probe the structures and functions of RNAs in them. These methods can be adapted to study RNA biochemistry in compartments formed by diverse artificial and biological macromolecules.
