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 fundamental motif in canonical nucleic acid structure is the base pair. Mutations that disrupt base pairs are typically destabilizing, but stability can often be restored by a second mutation that replaces the original base pair with an isosteric variant. Such concerted changes are a way to identify helical regions in secondary structures and to identify new functional motifs in sequenced genomes. In principle, such analysis can be extended to non-canonical nucleic acid structures, but this approach has not been utilized because the sequence requirements of such structures are not well understood. Here we investigate the sequence requirements of a G-quadruplex that can both bind GTP and promote peroxidase reactions. Characterization of all 256 variants of the central tetrad in this structure indicates that certain mutations can compensate for canonical G-G-G-G tetrads in the context of both GTP-binding and peroxidase activity. Furthermore, the sequence requirements of these two motifs are significantly different, indicating that tetrad sequence plays a role in determining the biochemical specificity of G-quadruplex activity. Our results provide insight into the sequence requirements of G-quadruplexes, and should facilitate the analysis of such motifs in sequenced genomes.
