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

Fundamental to the diverse biological functions of RNA are its 3D structure and conformational flexibility, which enable single sequences to adopt a variety of distinct 3D states. Currently, computational RNA design tasks are often posed as inverse problems, where sequences are designed based on adopting a single desired secondary structure without considering 3D geometry and conformational diversity. In this tutorial, we present gRNAde, a geometric RNA design pipeline operating on sets of 3D RNA backbone structures to design sequences that explicitly account for RNA 3D structure and dynamics. gRNAde is a graph neural network that uses an SE (3) equivariant encoder-decoder framework for generating RNA sequences conditioned on backbone structures where the identities of the bases are unknown. We demonstrate the utility of gRNAde for fixed-backbone re-design of existing RNA structures of interest from the PDB, including riboswitches, aptamers, and ribozymes. gRNAde is more accurate in terms of native sequence recovery while being significantly faster compared to existing physics-based tools for 3D RNA inverse design, such as Rosetta.
