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 regulates myriad cellular events such as transcription, translation, and splicing. To perform these essential functions, RNA often folds into complex tertiary structures in which its negatively charged ribose-phosphate backbone interacts with metal ions. Magnesium, the most abundant divalent metal ion in cells, neutralizes the backbone, thereby playing essential roles in RNA folding and function. This has been known for more than 50 years, and there are now thousands of
