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

In addition to encoding proteins, mRNAs have context-specific regulatory roles that contribute to many cellular processes. However, uncovering new mRNA functions is constrained by limitations of traditional biochemical and computational methods. In this Roadmap, we highlight how artificial intelligence can transform our understanding of RNA biology by fostering collaborations between RNA biologists and computational scientists to drive innovation in this fundamental field of research. We discuss how non-coding regions of the mRNA, including introns and 5' and 3' untranslated regions, regulate the metabolism and interactomes of mRNA, and the current challenges in characterizing these regions. We further discuss large language models, which can be used to learn biologically meaningful RNA sequence representations. We also provide a detailed roadmap for integrating large language models with graph neural networks to harness publicly available sequencing and knowledge data. Adopting this roadmap will allow us to predict RNA interactions with diverse molecules and the modelling of context-specific mRNA interactomes.
