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 thermometers are highly structured noncoding RNAs located in the 5'-untranslated regions (UTRs) of genes that regulate expression by undergoing conformational changes in response to temperature. The discovery of RNA thermometers through bioinformatics is difficult because there is little sequence conservation among their structural elements. Thus, the abundance of these thermosensitive regulatory structures remains unclear. Herein, to advance the discovery and validation of RNA thermometers, we developed Robo-Therm, a pipeline that combines an adaptive and user-friendly in silico motif search with a well-established reporter system. Through our application of Robo-Therm, we discovered two novel RNA thermometers in bacterial and bacteriophage genomes found in the human gut. One of these thermometers is present in the 5'-UTR of a gene that codes for
