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

We examined the assembly of DNA G-quadruplexes (G4s) into higher-order structures using atomic force microscopy, optical and electrophoretic methods, NMR spectroscopy and molecular modeling. Our results suggest that parallel blunt-ended G4s with single-nucleotide or modified loops may form different types of multimers, ranging from stacks of intramolecular structures and/or interlocked dimers and trimers to wires. Decreasing the annealing rate and increasing salt or oligonucleotide concentrations shifted the equilibrium from intramolecular G4s to higher-order structures. Control antiparallel and hybrid G4s demonstrated no polymorphism or aggregation in our experiments. The modification that mimics abasic sites (1',2'-dideoxyribose residues) in loops enhanced the oligomerization/multimerization of both the 2-tetrad and 3-tetrad G4 motifs. Our results shed light on the rules that govern G4 rearrangements. Gaining control over G4 folding enables the harnessing of the full potential of such structures for guided assembly of supramolecular DNA structures for nanotechnology.
