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 is integral to gene expression as messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) each play roles to transmit information from DNA into synthesis of functional proteins. During their lifespan, these nucleic acids may be chemically modified by alkylation, oxidation and the removal of bases, which alters their activity. Though much research has been devoted to the detection and repair of damaged DNA, RNA is viewed as a short-lived molecule that is quickly degraded upon damage. However, recent studies indicate that RNAs that become modified, particularly during stress, function as important signalling molecules. In this review, we focus on the effects of abasic RNAs and the modifications that lead to the loss of a base, as RNAs that are initially methylated or oxidized often become abasic. We describe how these chemical changes occur and cite recent work showing that in addition to being indicators of damage, abasic RNAs function as signals that mediate downstream cellular responses to stress.
