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

T7 RNA polymerase (T7 RNAP) catalyzes in vitro transcription (IVT) for mRNA vaccines and therapeutics, yet the molecular basis of its pH-dependent activity remains unclear. Here we employ constant pH replica exchange molecular dynamics (pH-REMD) spanning pH 4.75-9.15 (2.88 μs total sampling) to characterize pH-dependent conformational dynamics of the T7 RNAP initiation complex. Our simulations reveal that His811, adjacent to catalytic Asp812, functions as the primary active site pH sensor (p
