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

A theoretical model for the hydration pattern and motion of ions around the triple helical DNA with mixed sequences d(GACTGGTGAC)d(GTCACCAGTC)*d(GACTGGTGAC) in solution, during MD simulation, using the particle mesh Ewald sum method, is elaborated here. The AMBER 5.0 force field has been used during the simulation in solvent. The simulation studies support a dynamically stable atmosphere around the DNA triplex in solution over the entire length of the trajectory. The results have been compared with Hoogsteen triplexes and examined in the context of the observed behaviour of hydration in crystallographic data of duplexes. The dynamical organization of counterions and water molecules around the triplex formed by mixed sequences is described here. It has been observed that cations prefer to bind between two adjoining purines of the second and the third strands. The idea of localized complexes (mobile counterions in unspecific electronegative pockets around the DNA triplex with water molecules) may have important implications for understanding the specificity of the interactions of nucleic acids with proteins and other ligands.
