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

Nucleic acids are relevant biopolymers in therapy and diagnosis, for which their purity and biological activity are of crucial relevance. However, these features are difficult to achieve by cost-effective methods. Herein, we report the functionalization of a macroporous chromatographic support functionalized with an ionic liquid (IL) with remarkable performance to purify nucleic acids. An initial screening with distinct IL chemical structures supported in silica was carried out, allowing to identify the IL 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium chloride as the most promising ligand. A chromatographic macroporous matrix able to be used in preparative liquid chromatography was then functionalized and binding/elution studies were performed. The IL 1-methyl-3-propylimidazolium chloride acts as a multimodal ligand with a remarkable dynamic binding capacity. This macroporous support allows the (one-step) purification of nucleic acids, namely small RNAs, ribosomal RNA, and genomic DNA, from a bacterial lysate, and can be regenerated and reused without compromising its separation performance.
