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

Light-activated ("caged") oligonucleotides provide a strategy for modulating the activity of antisense oligos, siRNA, miRNA, aptamers, DNAzymes, and mRNA-capturing probes with high spatiotemporal resolution. However, the near-UV and visible wavelengths that promote these bond-breaking reactions poorly penetrate living tissue, which limits some biological applications. To address this issue, we describe the first example of a protease-activated oligonucleotide probe, capable of reporting on caspase-3 during cellular apoptosis. The 2'-F RNA-peptide substrate-peptide nucleic acid (PNA) hairpin structure was generated in 30% yield in a single bioconjugation step.
