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

It has been demonstrated that RNA G-quadruplexes (G4) are structural motifs present in transcriptomes and play important regulatory roles in several post-transcriptional mechanisms. However, the full picture of RNA G4 locations and the extent of their implication remain elusive. Solely computational prediction analysis of the whole transcriptome may reveal all potential G4, since experimental identifications are always limited to specific conditions or specific cell lines. The present study reports the first in-depth computational prediction of potential G4 region across the complete human transcriptome. Although using a relatively stringent approach based on three prediction scores that accounts for the composition of G4 sequences, the composition of their neighboring sequences, and the various forms of G4, over 1.1 million of potential G4 (pG4) were predicted. The abundance of G4 was computationally confirmed in both 5' and 3'UTR as well as splicing junction of mRNA, appreciate for the first time in the long ncRNA, while almost absent of most of the small ncRNA families. The present results constitute an important step toward a full understanding of the roles of G4 in post-transcriptional mechanisms.
