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

Structured RNAs often contain long-range tertiary contacts that are critical to their function. Despite the importance of tertiary contacts, methods to measure their thermodynamics are low throughput or require specialized instruments. Here, we introduce a new quantitative chemical mapping method (qMaPseq) to measure Mg2+-induced formation of tertiary contact thermodynamics in a high-throughput manner using standard biochemistry equipment. With qMaPseq, we measured the ΔG of 98 unique tetraloop/tetraloop receptor (TL/TLR) variants in a one-pot reaction. These results agree well with measurements from specialized instruments (R2= 0.64). Furthermore, the DMS reactivity of the TL directly correlates to the stability of the contact (R2= 0.68), the first direct evidence that a single DMS reactivity measurement reports on thermodynamics. Combined with structure prediction, DMS reactivity allowed the development of experimentally accurate 3D models of TLR mutants. These results demonstrate that qMaPseq is broadly accessible, high-throughput and directly links DMS reactivity to thermodynamics.
