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

RNAs play crucial roles in various important biological functions such as gene regulation and catalysis. The functions of RNAs are generally coupled to their structures as well as to the stability of the structure, which can strongly depend on ionic conditions. However, it is still a challenge to make reliable predictions for the structures and stability of RNAs in ion solutions. In this work, we developed a coarse-grained method involving temperature and ion effects for simulating RNA folding and three-dimensional (3D) structure prediction, named TiRNA. Extensive tests demonstrate that TiRNA can make successful predictions for 3D structures of RNAs, including pseudoknots and multi-way junctions, and for thermal stability of RNAs in ion solutions solely from sequences, as compared with the top existing methods. Moreover, TiRNA can also make reliable predictions for 3D structures and stability of RNAs in ion solutions based on inputting secondary structures.
