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

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) engage in RNA-RNA interactions (RRIs) that shape transcript fate and gene regulation, yet these duplexes are often transient and difficult to capture in cells. This chapter presents RNA Antisense Purification-RNA coupled to psoralen crosslinking (RAP-RNA[AMT]), a targeted method to capture direct RNA-RNA base-paired partners of a chosen lncRNA in its native cellular context. Duplexes are stabilized with 4'-aminomethyltrioxsalen (AMT) and UVA; the bait lncRNA is captured with biotinylated antisense probes under high stringency, and RNA partners associated through direct base pairing are released by RNase H digestion and quantified by RT-qPCR. The protocol provides practical guidance on probe design, crosslinking parameters, essential controls, and quantitative analysis. Together, the step-by-step workflow enables high-specificity mapping of lncRNA-centered RRIs and can be adapted for focused validation across diverse targets and cell types.
