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

We present evidence of formation of an intramolecular parallel triple helix with T*A.T and G*G.C base triplets (where * represents the hydrogen bonding interaction between the third strand and the duplex while. represents the Watson-Crick interactions which stabilize the duplex). The third GT strand, containing seven GpT/TpG steps, targets the polypurine sequence 5'-AGG-AGG-GAG-GAG-3'. The triple helix is obtained by the folding back twice of a 36mer, formed by three dodecamers tethered by hydroxyalkyl linkers (-L-). Due to the design of the oligonucleotide, the third strand orientation is parallel with respect to the polypurine strand. Triple helical formation has been studied in concentration conditions in which native gel electrophoresis experiments showed the absence of intermolecular structures. Circular dichroism (CD) and UV spectroscopy have been used to evidence the triplex structure. A CD spectrum characteristic of triple helical formation as well as biphasic UV and CD melting curves have been obtained in high ionic strength NaCl solutions in the presence of Zn(2+) ions. Specific interactions with Zn(2+) ions in low water activity conditions are necessary to stabilize the parallel triplex.
