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

Recently, the human telomeric d[TAGGG(TTAGGG)(3)] sequence has been shown to form in K(+) solution an intramolecular (3+1) G-quadruplex structure, whose G-tetrad core contains three strands oriented in one direction and the fourth in the opposite direction. Here we present a study on the structure of the Bombyx mori telomeric d[TAGG(TTAGG)(3)] sequence, which differs from the human counterpart only by one G deletion in each repeat. We found that this sequence adopted multiple G-quadruplex structures in K(+) solution. We have favored a major G-quadruplex form by a judicious U-for-T substitution in the sequence and determined the folding topology of this form. We showed by NMR that this was a new chair-type intramolecular G-quadruplex which involved a two-layer antiparallel G-tetrad core and three edgewise loops. Our result highlights the effect of G-tract length on the folding topology of G-quadruplexes, but also poses the question of whether a similar chair-type G-quadruplex fold exists in the human telomeric sequences.
