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

RNAcentral was founded in 2014 to serve as a comprehensive database of non-coding RNA sequences. It began by providing a single unified interface to more specialized resources and now contains 45 million sequences. It has grown beyond providing a single interface to many specialized resources and now provides several services and analyses. These include secondary structure prediction with R2DT, sequence search, and analysis with Rfam. Since its last publication in 2021, RNAcentral has developed two major features. First, literature integration with the development of LitScan and LitSumm. LitScan automatically identifies and links relevant publications to RNA entries, while LitSumm uses natural language processing to generate functional summaries from the literature. Together, these tools address the critical challenge of connecting sequence data with scattered functional knowledge across thousands of publications. Second, RNAcentral has created gene-level entries. Gene-level entries represent a large structural change to RNAcentral. While RNAcentral previously organized data exclusively at the sequence level, we now group related transcripts into gene-centric views. This allows researchers to explore all isoforms, splice variants, and related sequences for a gene in a unified interface, better reflecting biological organization and facilitating comparative analyses. RNAcentral is freely available at https://rnacentral.org.
