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

Nucleic acids, molecules essential for all life, can adopt many alternative structures besides the well-known right-handed double helix, some of which have been reported to exist and function in vivo. One of the most appropriate methods for structural studies of nucleic acids is circular dichroism spectroscopy, utilizing structure-induced chirality due to the asymmetric winding of absorbing nucleobases. Using electronic CD and absorption spectroscopies in combination with melting experiments, we analyzed a conformational equilibrium between DNA double helix and two alternative conformations of nucleic acids, cytosine i-motifs and guanine quadruplexes, as a function of the primary structure of model G/C-rich sequences, containing blocks of G and C runs in particular DNA strands. This paper is a part of special issue dedicated to 70th anniversary of the Biophysical Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences, where circular dichroism spectroscopy of nucleic acids has been used successfully and impactfully for many years.
