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

Altered expression of c-myc is implicated in pathogenesis and progression of many human cancers. Triple helix-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) directed to a polypurine/polypyrimidine sequence in a critical regulatory region near the c-myc P2 promoter have been shown to inhibit c-myc transcription in vitro and in cells. However, these guanine-rich TFOs had moderate binding affinity and required high concentrations for activity. The 23 bp myc P2 sequence is split equally into AT- and GC-rich tracts. Gel mobility analysis of a series of short TFOs directed in parallel and anti-parallel orientation to the purine strand of each tract showed that only parallel CT and anti-parallel GT TFOs formed stable triplex on the AT- and GC-rich tracts, respectively. A novel full-length GTC TFO was designed to bind simultaneously in parallel and anti-parallel orientation to the polypurine strand. Gel-shift and footprinting assays showed that the new TFO formed a triple helix in physiological conditions with significantly higher affinity than an anti-parallel TFO. Protein-binding assays showed that 1 microM GTC TFO inhibited binding of nuclear transcription factors to the P2 promoter sequence. The novel TFO can be developed into a potent antigene agent, and its design strategy applied to similar genomic sequences, thus expanding the TFO repertoire.
