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

Ribonucleotide bases can be chemically modified by cellular enzymes such as methyltransferases to regulate RNA metabolism and biological processes. The association between abnormal levels of RNA modification effector proteins and human diseases has spurred interest in therapeutic targeting of RNA modification systems, and an agent that inhibits the RNA-methylating enzyme METTL3 has entered clinical trials. Despite the promise of these pathways, therapeutic agents targeting proteins that write, read and erase RNA modifications are still limited. In this Review, we describe the cellular functions and disease associations of proteins that regulate RNA modifications. We focus on the N
