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

RNA G-quadruplexes (rG4s) are key regulatory elements in gene expression, yet the effects of genetic variants on rG4 formation remain underexplored. Here, we introduce G4mer, an RNA language model that predicts rG4 formation, classifies rG4 subtypes, and evaluates the effects of genetic variants across the transcriptome. G4mer significantly improves accuracy over existing methods and uncovers subtype-specific differences in mutational sensitivity and evolutionary constraint, highlighting sequence length and flanking motifs as important rG4 features. Applying G4mer to
