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 formation in the sequences 5'-(TTAGGG)(n) and 5'(TTAGGG)(n)TT (n = 4, 8, 12) was studied using circular dichroism, sedimentation velocity, differential scanning calorimetry, and molecular dynamics simulations. Sequences containing 8 and 12 repeats formed higher-order structures with two and three contiguous quadruplexes, respectively. Plausible structures for these sequences were determined by molecular dynamics simulations followed by experimental testing of predicted hydrodynamic properties by sedimentation velocity. These structures featured folding of the strand into contiguous quadruplexes with mixed hybrid conformations. Thermodynamic studies showed the strands folded spontaneous to contain the maximum number contiguous quadruplexes. For the sequence 5'(TTAGGG)(12)TT, more than 90% of the strands contained completely folded structures with three quadruplexes. Statistical mechanical-based deconvolution of thermograms for three quadruplex structures showed that each quadruplex melted independently with unique thermodynamic parmameters. Thermodynamic analysis revealed further that quadruplexes in higher-ordered structures were destabilized relative to their monomeric counterparts, with unfavorable coupling free energies. Quadruplex stability thus depends critically on the sequence and structural context.
