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

A triplex-forming oligonucleotide (TFO) could be a useful molecular tool for gene therapy and specific gene modification. However, unmodified TFOs have two serious drawbacks: low binding affinities and high sequence-dependencies. In this paper, we propose a new strategy that uses a new set of modified nucleobases for four-base recognition of TFOs, and thereby overcome these two drawbacks. TFOs containing a 2'-deoxy-4N-(2-guanidoethyl)-5-methylcytidine (d(g)C) residue for a C-G base pair have higher binding and base recognition abilities than those containing 2'-OMe-4N-(2-guanidoethyl)-5-methylcytidine (2'-OMe (g)C), 2'-OMe-4N-(2-guanidoethyl)-5-methyl-2-thiocytidine (2'-OMe (g)Cs), d(g)C and 4S-(2-guanidoethyl)-4-thiothymidine ((gs)T). Further, we observed that N-acetyl-2,7-diamino-1,8-naphtyridine ((DA)Nac) has a higher binding and base recognition abilities for a T-A base pair compared with that of dG and the other DNA derivatives. On the basis of this knowledge, we successfully synthesized a fully modified TFO containing (DA)Nac, d(g)C, 2'-OMe-2-thiothymidine (2'-OMe (s)T) and 2'-OMe-8-thioxoadenosine (2'-OMe (s)A) with high binding and base recognition abilities. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in which a fully modified TFO accurately recognizes a complementary DNA duplex having a mixed sequence under neutral conditions.
