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 polymerase III (Pol III) transcribes cytosolic transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and other non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) essential to cellular function. However, many aspects of Pol III transcription and processing, including RNA modifications, remain poorly understood, mainly due to a lack of available sensitive and systematic methods for their analysis. Here, we present DRAP3R (Direct Read and Analysis of Polymerase III transcribed RNAs), a modified nanopore direct RNA sequencing approach and analysis framework that enables the specific and sensitive capture of pre-mature Pol III transcribed RNAs. Applying DRAP3R to distinct cell types, we identify previously unconfirmed tRNA genes and other novel Pol III transcribed RNAs, thus expanding the known Pol III transcriptome. Critically, DRAP3R also enables discrimination between co- and post-transcriptional RNA modifications such as pseudouridine (Ψ) and N
