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

During an analysis of DNA enzymes by gel electrophoresis, we found that some DNA enzymes can adopt more than one conformation. The DNA enzyme Dz31 that formed more than one conformer contained a stretch of G residues. Further investigations, involving kinetic analysis and measurements of circular dichroism, indicated that this DNA enzyme and its derivatives formed G-quadruplexes. Moreover, we found that some derivative oligomers were capable of forming dimeric G-quadruplexes. We also compared the catalytic activities of Dz31 and its mutant derivatives. The present findings suggest that DNA enzymes with five or more continuous G residues are less favorable than those without G5 in the association step in the enzymatic reaction and, thus, the choice of targets that contain a continuous stretch of C residues downstream of the cleavage site should be avoided. In addition, we found that negative charge-charge repulsion disrupted the dimerization of G-quadruplexes when a phosphate group was added directly to the 5'-terminal G of oligomers with continuous guanosine residues. In the case of 5'-phosphorylated G5CTA, direct attachment of a phosphate group to the continuous G5 sequence inhibited dimerization of G-quadruplexes, at least during electrophoresis on a denaturing gel.
