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

Ribosomal translation at the origin of life requires controlled aminoacylation to produce mono-aminoacyl esters of tRNAs. Herein, we show that transient annealing of short RNA oligo:amino acid mixed anhydrides to an acceptor strand enables the sequential transfer of aminoacyl residues to the diol of an overhang, first forming aminoacyl esters then peptidyl esters. Using N-protected aminoacyl esters prevents unwanted peptidyl ester formation in this manner. However, N-acyl-aminoacyl transfer is not stereoselective.
