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

RNA-lipid interactions directly influence RNA activity, which plays a crucial role in the development of new applications in medicine and biotechnology. However, while specific preferential behaviors between RNA and lipid bilayers have been identified experimentally, their molecular origin remains unexplored. Here we use molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the interaction between RNA and membranes composed of zwitterionic lipids at the atomistic level. Our data reproduce and rationalize previous experimental observations, including that short-chain RNAs rich in guanine have a higher affinity for gel-phase membranes compared to RNA sequences rich in other nucleotides and that RNA prefers gel-phase membranes to fluid bilayers. Our simulations reveal that RNA order is a key molecular determinant of RNA-zwitterionic phospholipid interactions. Our data provide a wealth of information at the atomic level that will help accelerate research on RNA-lipid assemblies for task-specific applications such as designing lipid-based nanocarriers for RNA delivery.
