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

Imaging of RNA dynamics in living cells is increasingly important to understanding and measuring spatially restricted gene expression. We recently developed a live-cell RNA imaging method that combines an RNA aptamer with a fluorescent chemical probe. The method uses a combination of transfection of a plasmid encoding a gene-specific RNA aptamer with a cell-permeable synthetic small molecule whose fluorescence is restored only when the RNA aptamer hybridizes with its cognitive mRNAs. The versatile method permits the observation of the formation process of stress RNA granules crucial for cellular response to the environment. Simple approaches for simultaneous imaging of multiple RNAs would be essential to gain deeper insights into the functions and dynamics of RNA in cells.
