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 structure plays a crucial role in gene regulation, in RNA stability and the essential biological processes. RNA secondary structure (RSS) motifs are the basic building blocks for investigating the biological mechanisms of structure. Here, we present a strategy for structural motif-based dynamic alignment, namely, RNA secondary-structural motif-comparing (RNAsmc), to identify structural motifs and quantitatively evaluate their underlying molecular functions. RNAsmc also has strong robustness to sequence length, folding protocol and RNA structural profile by chemical probing. Notably, it is also applicable to quantify structural variation in special RNA editing events (SNVs or SNPs, fragment insertion or deletion, etc.). The findings indicate that RNAsmc can uncover the heterogeneity of RNA secondary structure and score for similarities among components, which provides an impetus to cluster RNA families and evaluate allosteric effects. We find that RNAsmc exhibits remarkable detection efficiency for experimentally-derived RiboSNitches. Finally, the pipeline was assembled into an R software package to serve as an automated toolkit to explore, align, and cluster RSS. It is freely available for download at https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=RNAsmc.
