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

Small RNAs capable of self-cleavage and ligation might have been the precursors for the much more complex self-splicing group I and II introns in an early RNA world. Here, we demonstrate the activity of engineered hairpin ribozyme variants, which as self-splicing introns are removed from their parent RNA. In the process, two cleavage reactions are supported at the two intron-exon junctions, followed by ligation of the two generated exon fragments. As a result, the hairpin ribozyme, here acting as the self-splicing intron, is cut out. Two self-splicing hairpin ribozyme variants were investigated, one designed by hand, the other by a computer-aided approach. Both variants perform self-splicing, generating a cut-out intron and ligated exons.
