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 ribosome is a ribozyme. At the peptidyl transfer center (PTC) of 180 nt, two loops (the A- and P- loops) bind to tRNAs and position them in close proximity for efficient peptidyl ligation. There is also a 2-fold rotational symmetry in the PTC, which suggests that the precursor of the modern ribosome possibly emerged through dimerization and gene fusion. However, experiments that demonstrate the possible dimerization have not yet been published. In our investigation, we reported single molecule FRET studies of two RNA fragments that generated high FRET values. By dye-labeling the 5'-biotinylated rRNA molecules at the 3'- terminals, or labeling three different types of tRNA-like oligos, we observed that RNA scaffolds can assemble and bring several short tRNA-acceptor-domain analogs, but not full-length tRNAs, to close proximity.
