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

Long terminal repeat (LTR)-retrotransposons constitute a significant part of eukaryotic genomes and influence their function and evolution. Like other RNA viruses, LTR-retrotransposons efficiently utilize their RNA genome to interact with host cell machinery during replication. Here, we provide the first genome-wide RNA secondary structure model for a LTR-retrotransposon in living cells. Using SHAPE probing, we explore the secondary structure of the yeast Ty1 retrotransposon RNA genome in its native in vivo state and under defined in vitro conditions. Comparative analyses reveal the strong impact of the cellular environment on folding of Ty1 RNA. In vivo, Ty1 genome RNA is significantly less structured and more dynamic but retains specific well-structured regions harboring functional cis-acting sequences. Ribosomes participate in the unfolding and remodeling of Ty1 RNA, and inhibition of translation initiation stabilizes Ty1 RNA structure. Together, our findings support the dual role of Ty1 genomic RNA as a template for protein synthesis and reverse transcription. This study also contributes to understanding how a complex multifunctional RNA genome folds in vivo, and strengthens the need for studying RNA structure in its natural cellular context.
