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

G-quadruplexes (G4s) are DNA secondary structures that are capable of forming and function in vivo The propensity of G4s to exhibit extreme polymorphism and complex dynamics is likely to influence their cellular function, yet a clear microscopic picture of their folding process is lacking. Here we employed single-molecule FRET microscopy to obtain a direct view of the folding and underlying conformational dynamics of G4s formed by the human telomeric sequence in potassium containing solutions. Our experiments allowed detecting several folded states that are populated in the course of G4 folding and determining their folding energetics and timescales. Combining the single-molecule data with molecular dynamics simulations enabled obtaining a structural description of the experimentally observed folded states. Our work thus provides a comprehensive thermodynamic and kinetic description of the folding of G4s that proceeds through a complex multi-route pathway, involving several marginally stable conformational states.
