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

The crystallization and structural determination of large RNAs and their complexes remain major bottlenecks in the mechanistic analysis of cellular and viral RNAs. Here, we describe a protocol that combines postcrystallization dehydration and ion replacement that dramatically improved the diffraction quality of crystals of a large gene-regulatory tRNA-mRNA complex. Through this method, the resolution limit of X-ray data extended from 8.5 to 3.2 Å, enabling structure determination. Although this protocol was developed for a particular RNA complex, the general importance of solvent and counterions in nucleic acid structure may render it generally useful for crystallographic analysis of other RNAs.
