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

Proteomic studies have shown that cellular condensates are frequently enriched in diverse RNA molecules, which is suggestive of mechanistic links between phase separation and transcriptional activities. Here, we report a systematic experimental and computational study of thermodynamic landscapes and interfacial properties of protein-RNA condensates. We have studied the affinity of protein-RNA condensation as a function of variable RNA sequence length and RNA-protein stoichiometry under different ionic environments and external crowding. We have chosen the PolyU sequences for RNA and arginine/glycine-rich intrinsically disordered peptide (RGG) for proteins as a model system of RNA-protein condensates, which we then investigate through
