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

The relative gas-phase stabilities of seven quadruplex DNA structures, [d(TG(4)T)](4), [d(T(2)G(3)T)](4), [d(G(4)T(4)G(4))](2), [d(T(2)AG(3))(2)](2), d(T(2)AG(3))(4), d(T(2)G(4))(4), and d(G(2)T(4))(4), were investigated using molecular dynamics simulations and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). MD simulations revealed that the G-quadruplexes maintained their structures in the gas phase although the G-quartets were distorted to some degree and ammonium ions, retained by [d(TG(4)T)](4) and [d(T(2)G(3)T)](4), played a key role in stabilizing the tetrad structure. Energy-variable collisional activated dissociation was used to assess the relative stabilities of each quadruplex based on E(1/2) values, and the resulting order of relative stabilities was found to be [d(TG(4)T)](4) >> d(T(2)AG(3))(4) approximately d(T(2)G(4))(4) > [d(T(2)G(3)T)](4) > [d(T(2)AG(3))(2)](2) approximately d(G(2)T(4))(4) approximately [d(G(4)T(4)G(4))](2.) The stabilities from the E(1/2) values generally paralleled the RMSD and relative free energies of the quadruplexes based on the MD energy analysis. One exception to the general agreement is [d(G(4)T(4)G(4))](2), which had the lowest E(1/2) value, but was determined to be the most stable quadruplex according to the free-energy analysis and ranked fourth based on the RMSD comparison. This discrepancy is attributed to differences in the fragmentation pathway of the quadruplex.
