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

Time-resolved imino proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the WT22m sequence d(GGGCCACCGGGCAGTGGGCGGG), derived from the WNT1 promoter region, revealed an intermediate G-quadruplex G4(I) structure during K+-induced conformational transition from an initial hairpin structure to the final G4(II) structure. Moreover, a single-base C-to-T mutation at either position C4 or C7 of WT22m could lock the intermediate G4(I) structure without further conformational change to the final G4(II) structure. Surprisingly, we found that the intermediate G4(I) structure is an atypical G4 structure, which differs from a typical hybrid G4 structure of the final G4(II) structure. Further studies of modified cytosine analogues associated with epigenetic regulation indicated that slight modification on a cytosine could modulate G4 structure. A simplified four-state transition model was introduced to describe such conformational transition and disclose the possible mechanism for G4 structural selection caused by cytosine modification.
