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

5-Methylcytosine (m5C) is one of the most prevalent covalent modifications on RNA. It is known to regulate a broad variety of RNA functions, including nuclear export, RNA stability and translation. Here, we present m5C-Atlas, a database for comprehensive collection and annotation of RNA 5-methylcytosine. The database contains 166 540 m5C sites in 13 species identified from 5 base-resolution epitranscriptome profiling technologies. Moreover, condition-specific methylation levels are quantified from 351 RNA bisulfite sequencing samples gathered from 22 different studies via an integrative pipeline. The database also presents several novel features, such as the evolutionary conservation of a m5C locus, its association with SNPs, and any relevance to RNA secondary structure. All m5C-atlas data are accessible through a user-friendly interface, in which the m5C epitranscriptomes can be freely explored, shared, and annotated with putative post-transcriptional mechanisms (e.g. RBP intermolecular interaction with RNA, microRNA interaction and splicing sites). Together, these resources offer unprecedented opportunities for exploring m5C epitranscriptomes. The m5C-Atlas database is freely accessible at https://www.xjtlu.edu.cn/biologicalsciences/m5c-atlas.
