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

Polyamides are a class of heterocyclic small molecules with the potential of controlling gene expression by binding to the minor groove of DNA in a sequence-specific manner. To evaluate the feasibility of this class of compounds as antiviral therapeutics, molecules were designed to essential sequence elements occurring numerous times in the HPV genome. This sequence element is bound by a virus-encoded transcription and replication factor E2, which binds to a 12 bp recognition site as a homodimeric protein. Here, we take advantage of polyamide:DNA and E2:DNA co-crystal structural information and advances in polyamide synthetic chemistry to design tandem hairpin polyamides that are capable of displacing the major groove-binding E2 homodimer from its DNA binding site. The binding of tandem hairpin polyamides and the E2 DNA binding protein to the DNA site is mutually exclusive even though the two ligands occupy opposite faces of the DNA double helix. We show with circular permutation studies that the tandem hairpin polyamide prevents the intrinsic bending of the E2 DNA site important for binding of the protein. Taken together, these results illustrate the feasibility of inhibiting the binding of homodimeric, major groove-binding transcription factors by altering the local DNA geometry using minor groove-binding tandem hairpin polyamides.
