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

To investigate the binding of 5'-CpG-3' sequences by small molecules, two pyrrole (Py)-imidazole (Im) hairpin polyamides, PyImPyIm-gamma-PyImPyIm-beta-Dp (1) and PyIm-beta-Im-gamma-PyIm-beta-Im-beta-Dp (2), which recognize the sequence 5'-CGCG-3', were synthesized. The binding affinities of the 5'-CGCG-3' sequence to the Py-Im hairpin polyamides were measured by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) analysis. SPR data revealed that dissociation equilibrium constants (K(d)) of polyamides 1 and 2 were 1.1 (+/- 0.3) x 10(-6) M and 1.7 (+/- 0.4) x 10(-8) M, respectively. Polyamide 2 possesses great binding affinity for this sequence, 65-fold higher than polyamide 1. Moreover, when all cytosines in 5'-CpGpCpG-3' were replaced with 5-methylcytosines ((m)Cs), the K(d) value of polyamide 2 increased to 5.8 (+/- 0.7) x 10(-9) (M), which indicated about 3-fold higher binding than the unmethylated 5'-CGCG-3' sequence. These results suggest that polyamide 2 would be suitable to target CpG-rich sequences in the genome.
