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

While the amino acid cysteine is usually an "order promoting" amino acid, not normally found in disordered proteins which undergo phase separation, researchers have found cysteine-rich regions flanking low-complexity domains, imparting redox sensitivity to condensates both in vivo and in vitro. However, these examples of redox reversible condensates in vitro lose their reversibility when RNA (an integral component of biomolecular condensates) is added. Herein, we demonstrate a system where a cationic peptide containing a cysteine residue forms redox reversible condensates with RNA. Additionally, this peptide formed condensates with RNA preferentially over the DNA analogs of the sequence, demonstrating the importance of RNA in this system. Fluorescence recovery experiments determined that the condensates displayed similar viscoelastic properties after dissolution and reformation in this manner, and finally a control peptide lacking a cysteine did not form condensates under oxidizing conditions.
