Proton NMR studies of 5'-d-(TC)(3) (CT)(3) (AG)(3)-3'--a paperclip triplex: the structural relevance of turns.
Article in Biophysical journal, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
In this study, we present the results of structural analysis of an 18-mer DNA 5'-T(1)C(2)T(3)C(4)T(5)C(6)C(7)T(8)C(9)T(10)C(11)T(12)A(13)G(14)A(15)G(16)A(17)G(18)-3' by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and molecular modeling. The NMR data are consistent with characteristics for triple helical structures of DNA: downfield shifting of resonance signals, typical for the H3(+) resonances of Hoogsteen-paired cytosines; pH dependence of these H3(+) resonance; and observed nuclear Overhauser effects consistent with Hoogsteen and Watson-Crick basepairing. A three-dimensional model for the triplex is developed based on data obtained from two-dimensional NMR studies and molecular modeling. We find that this DNA forms an intramolecular "paperclip" pyrimidine-purine-pyrimidine triple helix. The central triads resemble typical Hoogsteen and Watson-Crick basepairing. The triads at each end region can be viewed as hairpin turns stabilized by a third base. One of these turns is comprised of a hairpin turn in the Watson-Crick basepairing portion of the 18-mer with the third base coming from the Hoogsteen pairing strand. The other turn is comprised of two bases from the continuous pyrimidine portion of the 18-mer, stabilized by a hydrogen-bond from a purine. This "triad" has well defined structure as indicated by the number of nuclear Overhauser effects and is shown to play a critical role in stabilizing triplex formation of the internal triads.
