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

Solid-phase RNA synthesis is challenging because the 2'-hydroxyl requires a protecting group that is stable during chain assembly yet easily removable without degrading the product. Driven by the demand for long RNA therapeutics, we report a synthesis method using 2'-O-acetal levulinic ester (ALE) ribonucleoside 3'-O-phosphoramidites. This approach utilizes a rapid, base-labile on-column deprotection strategy that preserves the 5'-O-dimethoxytrityl (DMTr) group, facilitating DMTr-ON reverse-phase (RP) purification. The resulting protocols enable the efficient production of long, functional RNAs, such as single-guide RNAs with superior yield and purity compared to conventional silyl-based methods, while remaining compatible with diverse chemical modifications. © 2026 The Author(s).
