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) is a biological phenomenon that refers to the components of similar properties form droplets condensate in cells. These droplets play an important role in maintaining the stability of order in cells. In the studies of phase separation, weak multivalent interactions between proteins have always been the focus of attentions. With the deepening research of phase separation, more and more evidences show that RNA, especially long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), also plays an important regulatory role in the phase separation. We summarized recent researches between phase separation and RNA, and focused on the function of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) in the process of phase separation. In fact, phase separation and RNA have a two-way regulation relationship. Noncoding RNA usually recruits proteins as molecular scaffolds to drive phase separation. On the other hand, phase separation is also involved in RNA transcription, transport, metabolism and other processes.
