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

Human telomeric RNA has been identified as a key component of the telomere machinery. Recently, the growing evidence suggests that the telomeric RNA forms G-quadruplex structures to play an important role in telomere protection and regulation. In the present studies, we developed a 19F NMR spectroscopy method to investigate the telomeric RNA G-quadruplex structures in vitro and in living cells. We demonstrated that the simplicity and sensitivity of 19F NMR approach can be used to directly observe the dimeric and two-subunits stacked G-quadruplexes in vitro and in living cells and quantitatively characterize the thermodynamic properties of the G-quadruplexes. By employing the 19F NMR in living cell experiment, we confirmed for the first time that the higher-order G-quadruplex exists in cells. We further demonstrated that telomere RNA G-quadruplexes are converted to the higher-order G-quadruplex under molecular crowding condition, a cell-like environment. We also show that the higher-order G-quadruplex has high thermal stability in crowded solutions. The finding provides new insight into the structural behavior of telomere RNA G-quadruplex in living cells. These results open new avenues for the investigation of G-quadruplex structures in vitro and in living cells.
