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

G-quadruplexes form folded structures because of tandem repeats of guanine sequences in DNA or RNA. They adopt a variety of conformations, depending on many factors, including the type of loops and cations, the nucleotide strand number, and the main strand polarity of the G-quadruplex. Meanwhile, the different conformations of G-quadruplexes have certain influences on their biological functions, such as the inhibition of transcription, translation, and DNA replication. In addition, G-quadruplex binding proteins also affect the structure and function of G-quadruplexes. Some chemically synthesized G-quadruplex sequences have been shown to have biological activities. For example, bimolecular G-quadruplexes of AS1411 act as targets of exogenous drugs that inhibit the proliferation of malignant tumours. G-quadruplexes are also used as vehicles to deliver nanoparticles. Thus, it is important to identify the factors that influence G-quadruplex structures and maintain the stability of G-quadruplexes. Herein, we mainly discuss the factors influencing G-quadruplexes and the synthetic G-quadruplex, AS1411. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY: This review summarizes the factors that influence G-quadruplexes and the functions of the synthetic G-quadruplex, AS1411. It also discusses the use of G-quadruplexes for drug delivery in tumour therapy.
