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

The intracellular environment is crowded and heterogeneous. Although the thermodynamic stability of nucleic acid duplexes is predictable in dilute solutions, methods of predicting such stability under specific intracellular conditions are not yet available. We recently showed that the nearest-neighbor model for self-complementary DNA is valid under molecular crowding condition of 40% polyethylene glycol with an average molecular weight of 200 (PEG 200) in 100 mM NaCl. Here, we determined nearest-neighbor parameters for DNA duplex formation under the same crowding condition to predict the thermodynamics of DNA duplexes in the intracellular environment. Preferential hydration of the nucleotides was found to be the key factor for nearest-neighbor parameters in the crowding condition. The determined parameters were shown to predict the thermodynamic parameters (∆
