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

RNA structures play a fundamental role in nearly every aspect of cellular physiology and pathology. Gaining insights into the functions of RNA molecules requires accurate predictions of RNA secondary structures. However, the existing thermodynamic folding models remain less accurate than desired, even when chemical probing data, such as selective 2'-hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension (SHAPE) reactivities, are used as restraints. Unlike most SHAPE-directed algorithms that only consider SHAPE restraints for base pairing, we extract two-dimensional structural features encoded in SHAPE data and establish robust relationships between characteristic SHAPE patterns and loop motifs of various types (hairpin, internal, and bulge) and lengths (2-11 nucleotides). Such characteristic SHAPE patterns are closely related to the sugar pucker conformations of loop residues. Based on these patterns, we propose a computational method, SHAPELoop, which refines the predicted results of the existing methods, thereby further improving their prediction accuracy. In addition, SHAPELoop can provide information about local or global structural rearrangements (including pseudoknots) and help researchers to easily test their hypothesized secondary structures.
