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

In the presence of K(+) ions, the 5'-GGGTGGGTGGGTGGG-3' (G3T) sequence folds into a monomolecular quadruplex with unusually high thermal stability and unique optical properties. In this study we report that although single G3T molecules unfold and fold rapidly with overlapping melting and refolding curves, G3T multimers (G3T units covalently attached to each other) demonstrate highly reproducible hysteretic behavior. We demonstrate that this behavior necessitates full-length tandem G3T monomers directly conjugated to each other. Any modification of the tandem sequences eliminates the hysteresis. The experimentally measured kinetic parameters and equilibrium transition profiles suggest a highly specific two-state transition in which the folding and unfolding of the first G3T monomer is rate-limiting for both annealing and melting processes. The highly reproducible hysteretic behavior of G3T multimers has the potential to be used in the design of heat-stimulated DNA switches or transistors.
