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

The spliced leader RNA from Leptomonas collosoma has two competing secondary structures of nearly equal free energy. Short, complementary oligonucleotides can drive the structure from one form of the other. We report stopped-flow rapid-mixing and temperature-jump measurements of the kinetics of the structural switch. At high concentrations of oligonucleotide, the rate of binding becomes limited by the rate of the structural switch, which occurs on a time scale of a fraction of a second. The low activation energy observed for the process implies a branch migration type of mechanism in which portions of the two competing helices transiently coexist.
