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

Ribose 2'-O-methylation is involved in critical biological processes, but its biological functions and significance in mRNAs remain underexplored. We have developed NJU-seq, a sensitive method for unbiased 2'-O-methylation (Nm) profiling, and Nm-VAQ, a site-specific quantification tool. Using these tools in tandem, we identified thousands of Nm sites on mRNAs of human and mouse cell lines, of which 68 of 84 selected sites were further validated to be more than 1% 2'-O-methylated. Unlike rRNA, most mRNA Nm sites were from 1% to 30% methylated. In addition, mRNA Nm was dynamic, changing according to the circumstance. Furthermore, we show that fibrillarin is involved as a methyltransferase. By mimicking the detected Nm sites and the context sequence, the RNA fragments could be 2'-O-methylated and demonstrated higher stability but lower translation efficiency. Last, profiling of Nm sites in lung surgery samples revealed common signatures of lung cancer pathogenesis, providing potential new diagnostic markers.
