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

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are versatile tools that can regulate multiple steps of RNA biogenesis in cells and living organisms. Significant improvements in delivery, potency, and stability have been achieved through modifications within the oligonucleotide backbone, sugar and heterocycles. However, these modifications can profoundly affect interactions between ASOs and intracellular proteins in ways that are only beginning to be understood. Here, we report that ASOs with specific backbone and sugar modifications can become localized to cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granules such as stress granules and those seeded by the aggregation of specific ASO-binding proteins such as FUS/TLS (FUS) and PSF/SFPQ (PSF). Further investigation into the basis for ASO-FUS binding illustrated the importance of ASO backbone and hydrophobic 2' sugar modifications and revealed that the C-terminal region of FUS is sufficient to retain ASOs in cellular foci. Taken together, the results of this study demonstrate that affinities of various nucleic acid binding domains for ASO depend on chemical modifications and further demonstrate how ASO-protein interactions influence the localization of ASOs.
