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 functional analysis of epitranscriptomic modifications in RNA is constrained by a lack of methods that accurately capture their locations and levels. We previously demonstrated that the RNA modification N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) can be mapped at base resolution through sodium borohydride reduction to tetrahydroacetylcytidine (tetrahydro-ac4C), followed by cDNA synthesis to misincorporate adenosine opposite reduced ac4C sites, culminating in C:T mismatches at acetylated cytidines (RedaC:T). However, this process is relatively inefficient, resulting in <20% C:T mismatches at a fully modified ac4C site in 18S rRNA. Considering that ac4C locations in other substrates including mRNA are unlikely to reach full penetrance, this method is not ideal for comprehensive mapping. Here, we introduce "RetraC:T" (reduction to tetrahydro-ac4C and reverse transcription with amino-dATP to induce C:T mismatches) as a method with enhanced ability to detect ac4C in cellular RNA. In brief, RNA is reduced through NaBH
