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

Sequence-generalized fluorescent labels and stains for RNA can enable imaging, tracking, and analysis of the biopolymer. However, current noncovalent RNA dyes are poorly selective for RNA over DNA, interact weakly with their target, and can show limited utility in cellular RNA staining due to poor selectivity and high background signals. Here, we report a fluorogenic covalent labeling approach based on acylimidazole-mediated reaction of donor-acceptor fluorophores with 2'-hydroxyl (2'-OH) groups of RNA, providing a wavelength-tunable, sequence-independent strategy for selective labeling of the biopolymer. This reactive probe design enables labeling and imaging under mild aqueous conditions, providing up to 390-fold fluorescence enhancement and 970-fold selectivity for RNA over DNA, with four emission colors documented. The covalent fluorophore platform enables improved new tools for RNA-specific analysis and imaging in gels, in solution, and in living cells.
