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

Cytosine-rich DNA sequences form i-motif structures associated with various cellular functions including gene regulation. DNA sequences containing consecutive C residues are widely deemed essential for i-motif formation; however, some sequences lacking C-tracts have been reported to form minimal i-motif structures. We systematically investigated the variability in the minimal i-motif-forming DNA sequence comprising two TCGTTCCGT sequence units, which forms two C:C
