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

Research in the last two decades has increasingly demonstrated that RNA has capabilities comparable to those of proteins, for example the ability to form intricate 3D structures necessary for catalysis. Numerous protein domains are known in varied within-domain rearrangements, called permutations, that change the N- to C-terminal order of important amino acids inside the domain, but maintain their 3D locations. In RNAs, by contrast, only simple circular permutations are known, in which 5' and 3' portions of the molecule are merely swapped. Here, we computationally find and experimentally validate naturally occurring RNAs exhibiting non-circular permutations of previously established hammerhead ribozyme RNAs. In addition to the rearranged RNAs, a bioinformatics-based search uncovered many other new conserved RNA structures that likely play different biological roles. Our results further demonstrate the structural sophistication of RNA, indicate a need for more nuance in the analysis of pseudoknots, and could be exploited in RNA-based biotechnology applications.
