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

G-quadruplexes turned out to be important targets for the development of novel targeted anticancer/antiviral therapies. More than 3000 G-quadruplex small-molecule ligands have been described, with most of them exerting anticancer/antiviral activity by inducing telomeric damage and/or altering oncogene or viral gene expression in cancer cells and viruses, respectively. For some ligands, in-depth NMR and/or crystallographic studies were performed, providing detailed knowledge on their interactions with diverse G-quadruplex targets. Here, the PDB-deposited NMR and crystal structures of the complexes between telomeric, oncogenic or viral G-quadruplexes and small-molecule ligands, of both organic and metal-organic nature, have been summarized and described based on the G-quadruplex target, from telomeric DNA and RNA G-quadruplexes to DNA oncogenic G-quadruplexes, and finally to RNA viral G-quadruplexes. An overview of the structural details of these complexes is here provided to guide the design of novel ligands targeting more efficiently and selectively cancer- and virus-related G-quadruplex structures.
