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

RNA molecules fold to form complex internal structures. Many of these RNA structures populate ensembles with rheostat-like properties, with each state having a distinct function. Until recently, analysis of RNA structures, especially within cells, was limited to modeling either a single averaged structure or computationally-modeled ensembles. These approaches obscure the intrinsic heterogeneity of many structured RNAs. Single-molecule correlated chemical probing (smCCP) strategies are now making it possible to measure and deconvolute RNA structure ensembles based on efficiently executed chemical probing experiments. Here, we provide an overview of fundamental single-molecule probing principles, review current ensemble deconvolution strategies, and discuss recent applications to diverse biological systems. smCCP is enabling a revolution in understanding how the plasticity of RNA structure is exploited in biological systems to respond to stimuli and alter gene function. The energetics of RNA ensembles are often subtle and a subset can likely be targeted to modulate disease-associated biological processes.
