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

Biomolecular condensates, thought to form via liquid-liquid phase separation of intracellular mixtures, are multicomponent systems that can include diverse types of proteins and RNAs. RNA is a critical modulator of RNA-protein condensate stability, as it induces an RNA concentration-dependent reentrant phase transition-increasing stability at low RNA concentrations and decreasing it at high concentrations. Beyond concentration, RNAs inside condensates can be heterogeneous in length, sequence, and structure. Here, we use multiscale simulations to understand how different RNA parameters interact with one another to modulate the properties of RNA-protein condensates. To do so, we perform residue/nucleotide resolution coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of multicomponent RNA-protein condensates containing RNAs of different lengths and concentrations, and either FUS or PR
