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 mechanism by which biological macromolecules fold into their functional native conformations represents a problem of fundamental interest. DNA oligonucleotides derived from human telomeric repeat d[TAGGG(TTAGGG)3] and d[TAGGG(TTAGGG)3TT] fold into G-quadruplexes through diverse steps. Varying the pH and temperature by the use of nuclear magnetic resonance and other methods enabled detection of pre-folded structures that exist in solution before completely formed G-quadruplexes upon addition of cations. Pre-folded structures are in general hard to detect, however their knowledge is crucial to set up folding pathways into final structure since they are believed to be a starting point. Unexpectedly well-defined pre-folded structures composed of base triples for both oligonucleotides were detected at certain pH and temperature. These kinds of structures were up to now only hypothesized as intermediates in the folding process. All revealed pre-folded structures irrespective of the pH and temperature exhibited one common structural feature that could govern folding process.
