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

Recent studies have identified numerous RNAs with both coding and noncoding functions. However, the sequence characteristics that determine this bifunctionality remain largely unknown. In the present study, we develop and test the open reading frame (ORF) dominance score, which we define as the fraction of the longest ORF in the sum of all putative ORF lengths. This score correlates with translation efficiency in coding transcripts and with translation of noncoding RNAs. In bacteria and archaea, coding and noncoding transcripts have narrow distributions of high and low ORF dominance, respectively, whereas those of eukaryotes show relatively broader ORF dominance distributions, with considerable overlap between coding and noncoding transcripts. The extent of overlap positively and negatively correlates with the mutation rate of genomes and the effective population size of species, respectively. Tissue-specific transcripts show higher ORF dominance than ubiquitously expressed transcripts, and the majority of tissue-specific transcripts are expressed in mature testes. These data suggest that the decrease in population size and the emergence of testes in eukaryotic organisms allowed for the evolution of potentially bifunctional RNAs.
