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

In this paper, we report studies concerning four variants of the G-quadruplex forming anti-HIV-integrase aptamer T30923, in which specific 2'-deoxyguanosines have been singly replaced by 8-methyl-2'-deoxyguanosine residues, with the aim to exploit the methyl group positioned in the G-quadruplex grooves as a steric probe to investigate the interaction aptamer/target. Although, the various modified aptamers differ in the localization of the methyl group, NMR, circular dichroism (CD), electrophoretic and molecular modeling data suggest that all of them preserve the ability to fold in a stable dimeric parallel G-quadruplex complex resembling that of their natural counterpart T30923. However, the biological data have shown that the T30923 variants are characterized by different efficiencies in inhibiting the HIV-integrase, thus suggesting the involvement of the G-quadruplex grooves in the aptamer/target interaction.
