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 plays a critical role in many biological processes, and the structures it adopts are intimately linked to those functions. Among many factors that contribute to RNA folding, van der Waals interactions between adjacent nucleobases stabilize structures in which the bases are stacked on top of one another. Here, we utilize fluorescence-detected circular dichroism spectroscopy (FDCD) to investigate base-stacking heterogeneity in RNA labeled with the fluorescent adenine analogue 2-aminopurine (2-AP). Comparison of standard (transmission-detected) CD and FDCD spectra reveals that in dinucleotides, 2-AP fluorescence is emitted almost exclusively by unstacked molecules. In a trinucleotide, some fluorescence is emitted by a population of stacked and highly quenched molecules, but more than half originates from a minor ∼10% population of unstacked molecules. The combination of FDCD and standard CD measurements reveals the prevalence of stacked and unstacked conformational subpopulations as well as their relative fluorescence quantum yields.
