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 report a very selective and sensitive spectroscopic detection of Z-DNA embedded in B-DNA in condensed as well as non-condensed DNA using anionic Ni(II) meso-tetrakis(4-sulphonatophenyl)porphyrin, NiTPPS. A combination of micromolar concentrations of Ni(II) and spermine(4+) allowed us to prepare left-handed Z-DNA in short oligonucleotides without DNA condensation. A strong induced circular dichroism (ICD) signal was observed in the visible absorption region when NiTPPS was added to BZ DNA (Z-DNA fragment located at the end of a B-DNA tract with one B/Z DNA junction) and BZB DNA (Z-DNA sequence embedded in B-DNA having two B/Z DNA junctions). Almost no ICD signal was detected when NiTPPS was added to B-DNA. NiTPPS showed different binding modes with condensed and non-condensed Z-DNAs and allowed the distinction between condensed Z-DNA (positive bisignate CD couplet) and non-condensed Z-DNA (negative bisignate CD couplet).
