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

Many experimental strategies for determining nucleic acid function require labeling the nucleic acid with radioisotopes or a chemical tag. Labels enable nucleic acid detection, yield information about its state, and can serve as a handle by which the nucleic acid and associated factors can be purified from a mixture. Radioactive phosphate is commonly added to the 5' or 3' end of an oligonucleotide post synthesis using enzyme-catalyzed reactions. In contrast, chemical tags are usually added during synthesis or using reactive groups that are incorporated during synthesis. Here, we present protocols for post-synthetic conjugation of chemical tags to unmodified RNA or DNA oligonucleotides. The approach can be used to attach fluorescent dyes and biotin groups to oligonucleotides and to immobilize oligonucleotides to a solid support. Oligonucleotides tagged with fluorescent dyes are readily detected in both gel- and plate reader-based assays, while biotin- or resin-conjugated oligonucleotides are useful tools for affinity purification. Fluorescent end-labeling provides several advantages over radioactive labeling, reducing radioactivity-associated hazards and yielding a labeled molecule that does not decay while providing the sensitivity required for many procedures.
