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

Joining oligonucleotides together (ligation) is a powerful means of retrieving information from the nanoscale. To recover this information, the linkages created must be compatible with polymerases. However, enzymatic ligation is restrictive and current chemical ligation methods lack flexibility. Herein, a versatile ligation platform based on the formation of urea and squaramide artificial backbones from minimally modified 3'- and 5'-amino oligonucleotides is described. One-pot ligation gives a urea linkage with excellent read-through speed, or a squaramide linkage that is read-through under selective conditions. The squaramide linkage can be broken and reformed on demand, while stable pre-activated precursor oligonucleotides expand the scope of the ligation reaction to reagent-free, mild conditions. The utility of our system is demonstrated by replacing the enzymatically biased RNA-to-DNA reverse transcription step of RT-qPCR with a rapid nucleic-acid-template-dependent DNA chemical ligation system, that allows direct RNA detection.
