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

Crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (CLIP) methods are powerful techniques to interrogate direct protein-RNA interactions and dissect posttranscriptional gene regulatory networks. One widely used CLIP variant is photoactivatable ribonucleoside enhanced CLIP (PAR-CLIP) that involves in vivo labeling of nascent RNAs with the photoreactive nucleosides 4-thiouridine (4SU) or 6-thioguanosine (6SG), which can efficiently crosslink to interacting proteins using UVA and UVB light. Crosslinking of 4SU or 6SG to interacting amino acids changes their base-pairing properties and results in characteristic mutations in cDNA libraries prepared for high-throughput sequencing, which can be computationally exploited to remove abundant background from non-crosslinked sequences and help pinpoint RNA binding protein binding sites at nucleotide resolution on a transcriptome-wide scale. Here we present a streamlined protocol for fluorescence-based PAR-CLIP (fPAR-CLIP) that eliminates the need to use radioactivity. It is based on direct ligation of a fluorescently labeled adapter to the 3'end of crosslinked RNA on immobilized ribonucleoproteins, followed by isolation of the adapter-ligated RNA and efficient conversion into cDNA without the previously needed size fractionation on denaturing polyacrylamide gels. These improvements cut the experimentation by half to 2 days and increases sensitivity by 10-100-fold.
