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

We calculate the water and ion spatial distributions around charged oligonucleotides using a renormalized three-dimensional reference interaction site theory coupled with the HNC closure. Our goal is to understand the balance between inter-DNA strand forces and solvation forces as a function of oligonucleotide length in the short strand limit. The DNA is considered in aqueous electrolyte solutions of 1 M KCl, 0.1 M KCl, or 0.1 M NaCl. The current theoretical results are compared to molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and experiments. It is found that the integral equation (IE) theory replicates the MD and the experimental results for the base-specific hydration patterns in both the major and the minor grooves. We are also able to discern characteristic structural pattern differences between Na(+) and K(+) ions. When compared to Poisson-Boltzmann methods, the IE theory, like simulation, predicts a richly structured ion environment, which is better described as multilayer rather than double layer.
