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

The transcriptional intermediates of RNAs fold into secondary structures with multiple regulatory roles, yet the details of such cotranscriptional RNA folding are largely unresolved in eukaryotes. Here, we present eSPET-seq (Structural Probing of Elongating Transcripts in eukaryotes), a method to assess the cotranscriptional RNA folding in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Our study reveals pervasive structural transitions during cotranscriptional folding and overall structural similarities between nascent and mature RNAs. Furthermore, a combined analysis with genome-wide R-loop and mutation rate approximations provides quantitative evidence for the antimutator effect of nascent RNA folding through competitive inhibition of the R-loops, known to facilitate transcription-associated mutagenesis. Taken together, we present an experimental evaluation of cotranscriptional folding in eukaryotes and demonstrate the antimutator effect of nascent RNA folding. These results suggest genome-wide coupling between the processing and transmission of genetic information through RNA folding.
