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 structure and dynamics of polyanionic biomolecules, like RNA, are decisively determined by their electric interactions with the water molecules and the counterions in the environment. The solvation dynamics of the biomolecules involves a subtle balance of non-covalent and many-body interactions with structural fluctuations due to thermal motion occurring in a femto- to subnanosecond time range. This complex fluctuating many particle scenario is crucial in defining the properties of biological interfaces with far reaching significance for the folding of RNA structures and for facilitating RNA-protein interactions. Given the inherent complexity, suited model systems, carefully calibrated and benchmarked by experiments, are required to quantify the relevant interactions of RNA with the aqueous environment. In this feature article we summarize our recent progress in the understanding of the electrostatics at the biological interface of double stranded RNA (dsRNA) and transfer RNA (tRNA). Dimethyl phosphate (DMP) is introduced as a viable and rigorously accessible model system allowing the interaction strength with water molecules and counterions, their relevant fluctuation timescales and the spatial reach of interactions to be established. We find strong (up to ≈90 MV cm
