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

ATP-grasp superfamily enzymes contain a hand-like ATP-binding fold and catalyze a variety of reactions using a similar catalytic mechanism. More than 30 protein families are categorized in this superfamily, and they are involved in a plethora of cellular processes and human diseases. Here, we identify C12orf29 (RLIG1) as an atypical ATP-grasp enzyme that ligates RNA. Human RLIG1 and its homologs autoadenylate on an active site Lys residue as part of a reaction intermediate that specifically ligates RNA halves containing a 5'-phosphate and a 3'-hydroxyl. RLIG1 binds tRNA in cells and can ligate tRNA within the anticodon loop in vitro. Transcriptomic analyses of
