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

Throughout the family of coronaviruses, structured RNA elements within the 5' region of the genome are highly conserved. The fifth stem-loop element from SARS-CoV-2 (5_SL5) represents an example of an RNA structural element, repeatedly occurring in coronaviruses. It contains a conserved, repetitive fold within its substructures SL5a and SL5b. We herein report the detailed characterization of the structure and dynamics of elements SL5a and SL5b that are located immediately upstream of the SARS-CoV-2 ORF1a/b start codon. Exploiting the unique ability of solution NMR methods, we show that the structures of both apical loops are modulated by structural differences in the remote parts located in their stem regions. We further integrated our high-resolution models of SL5a/b into the context of full-length 5_SL5 structures by combining different structural biology methods. Finally, we evaluated the impact of the two most common VoC mutations within 5_SL5 with respect to individual base-pair stability.
