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

This manuscript reports the molecular basis for double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) binding of hairpin polyamides incorporating a 5-alkyl thiazole (Nt) unit. Hairpin polyamides containing an N-terminal Nt unit induce higher melting stabilisation of target dsDNA sequences relative to an archetypical hairpin polyamide incorporating an N-terminal imidazole (Im) unit. However, modification of the N-terminus from Im to Nt-building blocks results in an increase in dsDNA binding affinity but lower G-selectivity. A general G-selectivity trend is observed for Nt-containing polyamide analogues. G-selectivity increases as the steric bulk in the Nt 5-position increases. Solution-based NMR structural studies reveal differences in the modulation of the target DNA duplex of Nt-containing hairpin polyamides relative to the Im-containing archetype. A structural hallmark of an Nt polyamide•dsDNA complex is a more significant degree of major groove compression of the target dsDNA sequence relative to the Im-containing hairpin polyamide.
