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 Watson-Crick coding system depends on the molecular recognition of complementary purine and pyrimidine bases. Now, the construction of hybrid DNAs with Watson-Crick and purine-purine base pairs decorated with dendritic side chains was performed. Oligonucleotides with single and multiple incorporations of 5-aza-7-deaza-2'-deoxyguanosine, its tripropargylamine derivative, and 2'-deoxyisoguanosine were synthesized. Duplex stability decreased if single modified purine-purine base pairs were inserted, but increased if pyrene residues were introduced by click chemistry. A growing number of consecutive 5-aza-7-deazaguanine-isoguanine base pairs led to strong stepwise duplex stabilization, a phenomenon not observed for the guanine-isoguanine base pair. Spacious residues are well accommodated in the large groove of purine-purine DNA tracts. Changes to the global helical structure monitored by circular dichroism spectroscopy show the impact of functionalization to the global double-helix structure. This study explores new areas of molecular recognition realized by purine base pairs that are complementary in hydrogen bonding, but not in size, relative to canonical pairs.
