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

G-quadruplex nucleic acids have been proposed to play a role in a number of fundamental biological processes that include transcription and translation. We have developed a single-chain antibody that is selective for G-quadruplex DNA over double-stranded DNA, and here show that when it is expressed in human cells, it significantly affects the expression of a wide variety of genes, in a manner that correlates with the presence of predicted G-quadruplexes. We observe cases where gene expression is increased or decreased, and that there are apparent interactions with G-quadruplex motifs at the beginning and end of the genes, and on either strand. The outcomes of this genome-wide study demonstrate that G-quadruplex recognition by the antibody has physiological consequences, and provides insights into some of the complexity associated with G-quadruplex-based regulation.
