Ezrin mRNA target site selection for DNAzymes using secondary structure and hybridization thermodynamics.

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.
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
Ezrin, a membrane organizer and linker between plasma membrane and cytoskeleton, is well documented to play an important role in the metastatic capacity of cancer cells especially for osteosarcoma cells. It has provided an ideal target for cancer gene therapy. RNA-cleaving 10-23 DNAzymes, consisting of a 15-nucleotide catalytical domain flanked by two target-specific complementary arms, can cleave the target mRNA at purine-pyrimidine dinucleotide effectively. In the present study, we designed and screened the target sites for 10-23 DNAzymes against ezrin mRNA by using multiple computational methods with combination of secondary structural and hybridization thermodynamic parameters. Then, we testified the activities of the DNAzymes directed against these selected target sites in vitro. Our results show that AU1751 is the most effective target site of ezrin mRNA for DNAzymes because of its ideal secondary structure and hybridization thermodynamics. So, there is a significant correlation between the multiple computational methods and the efficacy of the corresponding DNAzymes. These provide a rational, efficient way for DNAzymes selection.
