Scaling Catalytic Contributions of Small Self-Cleaving Ribozymes.

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.
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
Nucleolytic ribozymes utilize general acid-base catalysis to perform phosphodiester cleavage. In most ribozyme classes, a conserved active site guanosine is positioned to act as general base, thereby activating the 2'-OH group to attack the scissile phosphate (γ-catalysis). Here, we present an atomic mutagenesis study for the pistol ribozyme class. Strikingly, "general base knockout" by replacement of the guanine N1 atom by carbon results in only 2.7-fold decreased rate. Therefore, the common view that γ-catalysis critically depends on the N1 moiety becomes challenged. For pistol ribozymes we found that γ-catalysis is subordinate in overall catalysis, made up by two other catalytic factors (α and δ). Our approach allows scaling of the different catalytic contributions (α, β, γ, δ) with unprecedented precision and paves the way for a thorough mechanistic understanding of nucleolytic ribozymes with active site guanines.
