Rfam 15: RNA families database in 2025.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 Rfam database, a widely-used repository of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) families, has undergone significant updates in release 15.0. This paper introduces major improvements, including the expansion of Rfamseq to 26,106 genomes, a 76% increase, incorporating the latest UniProt reference proteomes and additional viral genomes. Sixty-five RNA families were enhanced using experimentally determined 3D structures, improving the accuracy of consensus secondary structures and annotations. R-scape covariation analysis was used to refine structural predictions in 26 families. Gene Ontology and Sequence Ontology annotations were comprehensively updated, increasing GO term coverage to 75% of families. The release adds 14 new Hepatitis C Virus RNA families and completes microRNA family synchronisation with miRBase, resulting in 1,603 microRNA families. New data types, including FULL alignments, have been implemented. Integration with APICURON for improved curator attribution and multiple website enhancements further improve user experience. These updates significantly expand Rfam's coverage and improve annotation quality, reinforcing its critical role in RNA research, genome annotation, and the development of machine learning models. Rfam is freely available at https://rfam.org.
