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

Adenosine deaminases acting on RNA (ADARs) are RNA editing enzymes that catalyze the hydrolytic deamination of adenosine (A) to inosine (I) in dsRNA. In humans, two catalytically active ADARs, ADAR1 and ADAR2, perform this A-to-I editing event. The growing field of nucleotide base editing has highlighted ADARs as promising therapeutic agents while multiple studies have also identified ADAR1's role in cancer progression. However, the potential for site-directed RNA editing as well as the rational design of inhibitors is being hindered by the lack of detailed molecular understanding of RNA recognition by ADAR1. Here, we designed short RNA duplexes containing the nucleoside analog, 8-azanebularine (8-azaN), to gain insight into molecular recognition by the human ADAR1 catalytic domain. From gel shift and in vitro deamination experiments, we validate ADAR1 catalytic domain's duplex secondary structure requirement and present a minimum duplex length for binding (14 bp, with 5 bp 5' and 8 bp 3' to editing site). These findings concur with predicted RNA-binding contacts from a previous structural model of the ADAR1 catalytic domain. Finally, we establish that neither 8-azaN as a free nucleoside nor a ssRNA bearing 8-azaN inhibits ADAR1 and demonstrate that the 8-azaN-modified RNA duplexes selectively inhibit ADAR1 and not the closely related ADAR2 enzyme.
