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 this paper, we report investigations, based on circular dichroism, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and electrophoresis methods, on three oligonucleotide sequences, each containing one 3'-3' and two 5'-5' inversion of polarity sites, and four G-runs with a variable number of residues, namely two, three and four (mTG2T, mTG3T and mTG4T with sequence 3'-TGnT-5'-5'-TGnT-3'-3'-TGnT-5'-5'-TGnT-3' in which n = 2, 3 and 4, respectively), in comparison with their canonical counterparts (TGnT)4 (n = 2, 3 and 4). Oligonucleotides mTG3T and mTG4T have been proven to form very stable unprecedented monomolecular parallel G-quadruplex structures, characterized by three side loops containing the inversion of polarity sites. Both G-quadruplexes have shown an all-syn G-tetrad, while the other guanosines adopt anti glycosidic conformations. All oligonucleotides investigated have shown a noteworthy antiproliferative activity against lung cancer cell line Calu 6 and colorectal cancer cell line HCT-116 p53-/-. Interestingly, mTG3T and mTG4T have proven to be mostly resistant to nucleases in a fetal bovine serum assay. The whole of the data suggest the involvement of specific pathways and targets for the biological activity.
