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 structural elements called pseudoknots are involved in various biological phenomena including ribosomal frameshifts. Because it is infeasible to construct an efficiently computable secondary structure model including pseudoknots, secondary structure prediction methods considering pseudoknots are not yet widely available. We developed IPknot, which uses heuristics to speed up computations, but it has remained difficult to apply it to long sequences, such as messenger RNA and viral RNA, because it requires cubic computational time with respect to sequence length and has threshold parameters that need to be manually adjusted. Here, we propose an improvement of IPknot that enables calculation in linear time by employing the LinearPartition model and automatically selects the optimal threshold parameters based on the pseudo-expected accuracy. In addition, IPknot showed favorable prediction accuracy across a wide range of conditions in our exhaustive benchmarking, not only for single sequences but also for multiple alignments.
