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

Since their invention in 1991, peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) have been used in a myriad of chemical and biological assays. More recently, peptide nucleic acids have also been demonstrated to hold great potential as therapeutic agents because of their physiological stability, affinity for target nucleic acids, and versatility. While recent modifications in their design have further improved their potency, their preclinical development has reached new heights due to their combination with recent advancements in drug delivery. This review focuses on recent advances in PNA therapeutic applications, in which chemical modifications are made to improve PNA function and nanoparticles are used to enhance PNA delivery.
