Systematic synthetic and biophysical development of mixed sequence DNA binding agents.
Article in Organic & biomolecular chemistry, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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.
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
It is now well established that, although only about 5% of the human genome codes for protein, most of the DNA has some function, such as synthesis of specific, functional RNAs and/or control of gene expression. These functional sequences open immense possibilities in both biotechnology and therapeutics for the use of cell-permeable, small molecules that can bind mixed-base pair sequences of DNA for regulation of genomic functions. Unfortunately very few types of modules have been designed to recognize mixed DNA sequences and for progress in targeting specific genes, it is essential to have additional classes of compounds. Compounds that can be rationally designed from established modules and which can bind strongly to mixed base pair DNA sequences are especially attractive. Based on extensive experience in design of minor-groove agents for AT recognition, a small library of compounds with two AT specific binding modules, connected through linkers which can recognize the G·C base pairs, were prepared. The compound-DNA interactions were evaluated with a powerful array of biophysical methods and the results show that some pyridyl-linked compounds bind with the target sequence with sub-nanomolar K
