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

Riboswitches are non-coding RNA sequences that control cellular processes through ligand binding. Conformational heterogeneity is fundamental to riboswitch functionality, yet this same attribute makes structural characterization of these mRNA elements challenging. Here, we use cryo-electron microscopy to characterize different structural populations of the glycine riboswitch tandem aptamers, and molecular dynamics simulations to support the observed ligand orientation in the holo state. We find that Mg
