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

Transfer RNAs (tRNAs) are ubiquitous non-coding RNA molecules required to translate mRNA-encoded sequence information into nascent polypeptide chains. Their relatively small size and heterogenous patterns of their RNA modifications have impeded the systematic structural characterization of individual tRNAs. Here, we use single-particle cryo-EM to determine the structures of four human tRNAs before and after incorporation of pseudouridines (Ψ). Following post-transcriptional modifications by distinct combinations of human pseudouridine synthases, we find that tRNAs become stabilized and undergo specific local structural changes. We establish interactions between the D- and T-arms as the key linchpin in the tertiary structure of tRNAs. Our structures of human tRNAs highlight the vast potential of cryo-EM combined with biophysical measurements and computational simulations for structure-function analyses of tRNAs and other small, folded RNA domains.
