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

Both experimental and theoretical structure determinations of RNAs have remained challenging due to the intrinsic dynamics of RNAs. We report here an integrated nuclear magnetic resonance/molecular dynamics (NMR/MD) structure determination approach to describe the dynamic structure of the CUUG tetraloop. We show that the tetraloop undergoes substantial dynamics, leading to averaging of the experimental data. These dynamics are particularly linked to the temperature-dependent presence of a hydrogen bond within the tetraloop. Interpreting the NMR data by a single structure represents the low-temperature structure well but fails to capture all conformational states occurring at a higher temperature. We integrate MD simulations, starting from structures of CUUG tetraloops within the Protein Data Bank, with an extensive set of NMR data, and provide a structural ensemble that describes the dynamic nature of the tetraloop and the experimental NMR data well. We thus show that one of the most stable and frequently found RNA tetraloops displays substantial dynamics, warranting such an integrated structural approach.
