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

Understanding the interaction between nanoscale materials and nucleobases is essential for their use in nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine. Our ab initio calculations indicate that the interaction of nucleobases [adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), thymine (T), and uracil (U)] with boron-carbon-nitride (BCN) is mainly governed by van der Waals interactions. The adsorption energies, ranging from -0.560 to -0.879 eV, decrease in the order of G > A > T > C > U, which can be attributed to π-π interactions and different side groups of the nucleobases. We found that anions (N and O atoms) of nucleobases prefer to stay on top of cation (B) of the substrate. The results also showed that BCN exhibits superior binding strength than graphene and boron-nitride-based materials. We also found that upon adsorption, the fundamental properties of BCN and nucleobases remains unaltered, which suggests that BCN is a promising template for self-assembly of nucleobases.
