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

Growing RNAs fold differently as they are transcribed, which modulates their finally adopted structures. Riboswitches regulate gene expression by structural change, which are sensitive to co-transcriptionally structural biology. Here we develop a strategy to track the structural change of RNAs during transcription at single-nucleotide and single-molecule resolution and use it to monitor individual transcripts of the SAM-VI riboswitch (riboSAM) as transcription proceeds, observing co-existence of five states in riboSAM. We report a bifurcated helix in one newly identified state from NMR and single-molecule FRET (smFRET) results, and its presence directs the translation inhibition in our cellular translation experiments. A model is proposed to illustrate the distinct switch patterns and gene-regulatory outcome of riboSAM when SAM is present or absent. Our strategy enables the precise mapping of RNAs' conformational landscape during transcription, and may combine with detection methods other than smFRET for structural studies of RNAs in general.
