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

At the level of secondary structure, circular RNAs (circRNAs) can be understood in terms of base pairing, base-pair stacking, and entropic loop contribution in the same way as linear RNAs and intermolecular RNA-RNA interactions. The folding problem of circular RNAs can thus be solved by dynamic programming algorithms in essentially the same manner. In this chapter, we review the similarities and differences between circular and linear RNAs with a focus on the software tools provided by the ViennaRNA package. Comparative analysis of RNA structures can also be generalized to circular RNA molecules. However, the task of constructing pairwise and multiple alignments of circular sequences is more difficult than those of their linear counterpart, whence fewer and less convenient software solutions are available. This chapter has also touched upon recent developments such as applications of chemical probing to circular RNAs and prediction of secondary structures on the interaction of circular RNAs with other molecules.
