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

The recognition of specific genomic arrangements by rationally designed small molecules is fundamental for the expansion of targeted gene expression. Here, we report the first X-ray crystal structures that demonstrate single G (guanine) recognition by a highly selective diamidine (DB2447) in a mixed DNA sequence. The study presents detailed structural information on the mechanism of single G recognition by D2447 and its various interactions in the DNA minor groove. Molecular dynamics and binding studies were used to evaluate the details of our reported structures. The study provides structural insight and resources necessary for understanding single G selection in genomic sequences.
