Triplex-Forming Peptide Nucleic Acid Controls Dynamic Conformations of RNA Bulges.
Article in Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
RNA folding is driven by the formation of double-helical segments interspaced by loops of unpaired nucleotides. Among the latter, bulges formed by one or several unpaired nucleotides are one of the most common structural motifs that play an important role in stabilizing RNA-RNA, RNA-protein, and RNA-small molecule interactions. Single-nucleotide bulges can fold in alternative structures where the unpaired nucleobase is either looped-out (flexible) in a solvent or stacked-in (intercalated) between the base pairs. In the present study, we discovered that triplex-forming peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) had unusually high affinity for single-purine-nucleotide bulges in double-helical RNA. Depending on the PNA's sequence, the triplex formation shifted the equilibrium between looped-out and stacked-in conformations. The ability to control the dynamic equilibria of RNA's structure will be an important tool for studying structure-function relationships in RNA biology and may have potential in novel therapeutic approaches targeting disease-related RNAs.
