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 undergoes complex posttranscriptional processing including chemical modifications of the nucleotides. The resultant-modified nucleotides are an integral part of RNA sequences that must be considered in studying the biology of RNA and in the design of RNA therapeutics. However, the current "RNA-sequencing" methods primarily sequence complementary DNA rather than RNA itself, which means that the modifications present in RNA are not captured in the sequencing results. Emerging direct RNA-sequencing technologies, such as those offered by Oxford Nanopore, aim to address this limitation. In this study, we synthesized and used Nanopore technology to sequence RNA transcripts consisting of canonical nucleotides and 10 different modifications in various concentrations. The results show that direct RNA sequencing still has a baseline error rate of >10%, and although some modifications can be detected, many remain unidentified. Thus, there is a need to develop sequencing technologies and analysis methods that can comprehensively capture the total complexity of RNA. The RNA sequences obtained through this project are made available for benchmarking analysis methods.
