Hybrid RNA/DNA Concatemers and Self-Limited Complexes: Structure and Prospects for Therapeutic Applications.
Article in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The development of new convenient tools for the design of multicomponent nucleic acid (NA) complexes is one of the challenges in biomedicine and NA nanotechnology. In this paper, we analyzed the formation of hybrid RNA/DNA concatemers and self-limited complexes by a pair of oligonucleotides using UV melting, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and a gel shift assay. Effects of the size of the linker between duplex-forming segments of the oligonucleotides on complexes' shape and number of subunits were compared and systematized for RNA/DNA, DNA/DNA, and RNA/RNA assemblies. The data on complex types summarized here as heat maps offer a convenient tool for the design of NA constructs. General rules found for RNA/DNA, DNA/DNA, and RNA/RNA complexes allow not only designing complexes with desired structures but also purposefully transforming their geometry. The A-form of the double helix of the studied RNA/DNA complexes was confirmed by circular dichroism analysis. Moreover, we show for the first time efficient degradation of RNA in hybrid self-limited complexes by RNase H and imidazole. The results open up new prospects for the design of supramolecular complexes as tools for nanotechnology, nanomachinery, and biomedical applications.
