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 synthesis and photophysical evaluation of modified nucleoside analogues in which a five-membered heterocycle (furan, thiophene, oxazole and thiazole) is attached to the 5 position of 2'-deoxyuridine are reported. The furan containing derivative is identified as the most promising responsive nucleoside of this family due to its emission quantum efficiency and degree of sensitivity to its microenvironment. The furan moiety was then attached to the 5 position of 2'-deoxycytidine as well as the 8 position of adenosine and guanosine. Photophysical evaluation of these four furan containing nucleoside analogues reveal distinct differences in the absorption, emission and quantum efficiency depending upon the class of nucleoside (pyrimidine or purine). Comparing the photophysical properties of all furan containing nucleosides, identifies the furan thymidine analogue, 5-(fur-2-yl)-2'-deoxyuridine, as the best candidate for use as a responsive fluorescent probe in nucleic acids. 5-(fur-2-yl)-2'-deoxyuridine was then converted to the corresponding phosphoramidite and site specifically incorporated into DNA oligonucleotides with greater than 88% coupling efficiency. Such furan-modified oligonucleotides form stable duplexes upon hybridization to their complementary DNA strands and display favorable fluorescent features.
