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

Ribozymes are folded catalytic RNA molecules that perform important biological functions. Since the discovery of the first RNA with catalytic activity in 1982, a large number of ribozymes have been reported. While most catalytic RNA molecules act alone, some RNA-based catalysts, such as RNase P, the ribosome, and the spliceosome, need protein components to perform their functions in the cell. In the last decades, the structure and mechanism of several ribozymes have been studied in detail. Aside from the ribosome, which catalyzes peptide bond formation during protein synthesis, the majority of known ribozymes carry out mostly phosphoryl transfer reactions, notably trans-esterification or hydrolysis reactions. In this review, we describe the main features of the mechanisms of various types of ribozymes that can function with or without the help of proteins to perform their biological functions.
