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

The potential of coding RNAs as a general therapeutic modality is limited by their short intracellular lifetime. Here, we investigate the effects of localized post-transcriptional RNA modification on protein expression over time. While 2'-OH acylation of GFP RNA with stable adducts in the protein-coding region strongly suppressed protein expression, acylation at the poly(A) tail extended translation duration, with protein output increased by up to 8-fold at 36 h. Aryl amino acid derivatives proved to be most effective, while alkyl variants showed little effect. Preliminary mechanistic experiments point to disruption of the poly(A) helical structure as a contributing factor. Our study demonstrates the potential of post-transcriptional localized 2'-acylation as a simple molecular solution to enhance protein-expression capabilities of RNAs.
