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 targeting has gained traction over the past decade. It has become clear that dysregulation of RNA can be linked to many diseases, leading to a need for new scaffolds recognizing RNA specifically. Long noncoding RNAs are emerging as key controllers of gene expression and potential therapeutic targets. However, traditional targeting methods have overwhelmingly been focused on proteins. In this study, we used a protein computational tool and found several possible targetable pockets in a structurally characterized long noncoding RNA, MALAT1. Screening against those identified pockets revealed several hit compounds. We tested the binding of those compounds to MALAT1 RNA and tRNA as a negative control, using SPR. While several compounds were nonspecific binders, others were able to recognize MALAT1 specifically. One of them, MTC07, has an apparent affinity of 400.2 ± 14.4 μM. Although it has weak affinity, MTC07 is the first compound targeting MALAT1 originating from
