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

Much of our understanding of RNA-protein interactions, and how these interactions shape gene expression and cell state, have come from studies looking at these interactions in vitro or inside the cell. However, recent data demonstrates the presence of extracellular and cell surface-associated RNA such as glycosylated RNA (glycoRNA), suggesting an entirely new environment and cellular topology in which to study RNA-RNA binding protein (RBP) interactions. Here, we explore emerging ideas regarding the landscape of cell surface RNA and RBPs. We also discuss open questions concerning the trafficking and anchoring of RBPs to the cell surface, whether cell surface RBPs (csRBPs) directly interact with cell surface RNA, and how changes in the presentation of csRBPs may drive autoimmune responses.
