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 spite of its importance in cell function, targeting DNA is under-represented in the design of small molecules. A barrier to progress in this area is the lack of a variety of modules that recognize G⋅C base pairs (bp) in DNA sequences. To overcome this barrier, an entirely new design concept for modules that can bind to mixed G⋅C and A⋅T sequences of DNA is reported herein. Because of their successes in biological applications, minor-groove-binding heterocyclic cations were selected as the platform for design. Binding to A⋅T sequences requires hydrogen-bond donors whereas recognition of the G-NH
