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

Understanding the intricate interaction pattern of nucleic acids with other molecules is essential to gain further insight in biological processes and disease mechanisms. To this end, a multitude of hybridization-based assays have been designed that rely on the non-covalent recognition between complementary nucleic acid sequences. However, the ephemeral nature of these interactions complicates straightforward analysis as low efficiency and specificity are rule rather than exception. By covalently locking nucleic acid interactions by means of a crosslinking agent, the overall efficiency, specificity and selectivity of hybridization-based assays could be increased. In this mini-review we highlight methodologies that exploit the use of crosslinker-modified nucleic acid probes for interstrand nucleic acid crosslinking with the objective to study, detect and identify important targets as well as nucleic acid sequences that can be considered relevant biomarkers. We emphasize on the usefulness and advantages of crosslinking agents and elaborate on the chemistry behind the crosslinking reactions they induce.
