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 modifications play crucial roles in shaping RNA structure, function, and metabolism. Their dysregulation has been associated with many diseases, including cancer, developmental disorders, cardiovascular diseases, as well as neurological and immune-related conditions. A particular type of RNA modification, 2'-O-methylation (Nm) stands out due to its widespread occurrence on all four types of nucleotides (A, U, G, C) and in most RNA categories, e.g., mRNA, rRNA, tRNA, miRNA, snRNA, snoRNA, and viral RNA. Nm is the addition of a methyl group to the 2' hydroxyl of the ribose moiety of a nucleoside. Given its great biological significance and reported association with many diseases, we first reviewed the occurrences and functional implications of Nm in various RNA species. We then summarized the reported Nm detection methods, ranging from biochemical techniques in the 70's and 80's to recent methods based on Illumina RNA sequencing, artificial intelligence (AI) models for computational prediction, and the latest nanopore sequencing methods currently under active development. Moreover, we discussed the applications of Nm in the realm of RNA medicine, highlighting its therapeutic potential. At last, we present perspectives on potential research directions, aiming to offer insights for future investigations on Nm modification.
