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

Over 150 types of chemical modifications have been identified in RNA to date, with pseudouridine (Ψ) being one of the most prevalent modifications in RNA. Ψ plays vital roles in various biological processes, and precise, base-resolution detection methods are fundamental for deep analysis of its distribution and function. In this study, we introduced a novel base-resolution Ψ detection method named pseU-TRACE. pseU-TRACE relied on the fact that RNA containing Ψ underwent a base deletion after treatment of bisulfite (BS) during reverse transcription, which enabled efficient ligation of two probes complementary to the cDNA sequence on either side of the Ψ site and successful amplification in subsequent real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), thereby achieving selective and accurate Ψ detection. Our method accurately and sensitively detected several known Ψ sites in 28S, 18S, 5.8S, and even mRNA. Moreover, pseU-TRACE could be employed to measure the Ψ fraction in RNA and explore the Ψ metabolism of different pseudouridine synthases (PUSs), providing valuable insights into the function of Ψ. Overall, pseU-TRACE represents a reliable, time-efficient and sensitive Ψ detection method.
