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

Cellular RNAs are not linear single-stranded stretches of nucleic acids as depicted in textbook cartoons but fold into secondary and tertiary structures through intra- and intermolecular base-pairing. They also interact with proteins to form ribonucleoproteins (RNPs), the functional units of RNA in cells. Recent methodological developments utilising high-throughput sequencing have enabled the detailed mapping of cellular RNA-protein interactions and RNA structures. While methods for the direct determination of cellular RNP structures are still lacking, the integration of high-throughput approaches and advancements with in vitro techniques such as cryogenic electron microscopy have provided insights into the functional significance of RNP structures. In this review, we will summarise the key methods used to probe cellular RNA-protein interactions and RNA structures and then provide examples of how these approaches have led to an enhanced understanding of RNP structures in gene regulation and how this has also opened new avenues for drug development.
