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

Most bacterial small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) modulate gene expression by forming complementary base pairs with target mRNAs, dependent upon the RNA chaperone Hfq. Hfq has three RNA-binding faces (proximal, rim, and distal), facilitating simultaneous binding of sRNAs and target mRNAs. Here, we systematically examined the functional impact of point mutations in the RNA binding faces on in vivo pairing, using the RNA Interaction by Ligation and Sequencing (RIL-seq) approach. The distal and proximal Hfq binding face mutants retained substantial numbers of RNA-RNA interactions (significant chimera counts or S-chimeras). However, the rim face mutant R16A showed a near-complete loss of S-chimeras, although Hfq R16A retained partial RNA binding activity as well as partial regulatory activity. Intracellular RIL-seq (iRIL-seq), a method with fewer
