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

Oligonucleotide-peptide conjugates (OPCs) are a promising class of biologically active compounds with proven potential for improving nucleic acid therapeutics. OPCs are commonly recognized as an efficient instrument to enhance the cellular delivery of therapeutic nucleic acids. In addition to this application field, OPCs have an as yet unexplored potential for the post-SELEX optimization of DNA aptamers. In this paper, we report the preparation of designer thrombin aptamer OPCs with peptide side chains anchored to a particular thymidine residue of the aptamer. The current conjugation strategy utilizes unmodified short peptides and support-bound protected oligonucleotides with activated carboxyl functionality at the T3 thymine nucleobase. The respective modification of the oligonucleotide strand was implemented using N3-derivatized thymidine phosphoramidite. Aptamer OPCs retained the G-quadruplex architecture of the parent DNA structure and showed minor to moderate stabilization. In a series of five OPCs, conjugates bearing T3-Ser-Phe-Asn (SFN) or T3-Tyr-Trp-Asn (YWN) side chains exhibited considerably improved anticoagulant characteristics. Molecular dynamics studies of the aptamer OPC complexes with thrombin revealed the roles of the amino acid nature and sequence in the peptide subunit in modulating the anticoagulant activity.
