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

Many sequence variations of the 8-17 RNA-cleaving deoxyribozyme have been isolated through in vitro selection. In an effort to understand how these sequence variations affect cleavage site selectivity, we systematically mutated the catalytic core of 8-17 and measured the cleavage activity of each mutant deoxyribozyme against all 16 possible chimeric (RNA/DNA) dinucleotide junctions. We observed sequence-function relationships that suggest how the following non-conserved positions in the catalytic core influence selectivity at the dinucleotide (5' rN(18)-N(1.1) 3') cleavage site: (i) positions 2.1 and 12 represent a primary determinant of the selectivity at the 3' position (N(1.1)) of the cleavage site; (ii) positions 15 and 15.0 represent a primary determinant of the selectivity at the 5' position (rN(18)) of the cleavage site and (iii) the sequence of the 3-bp intramolecular stem has relatively little influence on cleavage site selectivity. Furthermore, we report for the first time that 8-17 variants have the collective ability to cleave all dinucleotide junctions with rate enhancements of at least 1000-fold over background. Three optimal 8-17 variants, identified from approximately 75 different sequences that were examined, can collectively cleave 10 of 16 junctions with useful rates of >/=0.1 min(-1), and exhibit an overall hierarchy of reactivity towards groups of related junctions according to the order NG > NA > NC > NT.
