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

Intracellular delivery of oligonucleotides is important for their use as therapeutic drugs. The conjugation of molecules interacting with cell membrane proteins to enhance their internalization into cells is an effective strategy for delivering oligonucleotides. In the present study, we focused on creating aptamers, which are single-stranded oligonucleotides that bind target molecules with high affinity and specificity, as membrane protein-binding molecules. With an evolutionary selection approach using a random DNA library containing a uracil derivative with a hydrophobic functional group at the 5 position, we successfully obtained aptamers that are efficiently internalized into A549 cells. The efficacies of the aptamers were tested by further conjugation with
