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

Triplex formation is a promising strategy for realizing artificially controlling of gene expression, reversible assembly of nanomaterials and DNA nanomachine and single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) have been widely used as gene and drug delivery vector or as 'building blocks' in nano-/microelectronic devices. CGC(+) triplex is not as stable as TAT triplex. The poor stability of CGC(+) triplex limits its use in vitro and in vivo. There is no ligand that has been reported to selectively stabilize CGC(+) triplets rather than TAT. Here, we report that SWNTs can cause d(CT) • d(AG) duplex disproportionation into triplex d(C(+)T) • d(AG) • d(CT) and single-strand d(AG) under physiological conditions. SWNTs can reduce the stringency of conditions for CGC(+) triplex formation studied by UV-vis, CD, DNA melting, light scattering and atomic force microscopy. Further studies indicate that electrostatic interaction is crucial for d(CT) • d(AG) repartition into triplex d(C(+)T) • d(AG) • d(CT). Our findings may facilitate utilization of SWNTs-DNA complex in artificially controlling of gene expression, nanomaterials assembly and biosensing.
