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

Guanine-rich nucleic acid sequences can adopt G-quadruplex (G4) structures, which pose barriers to DNA replication and repair. The FANCJ helicase contributes to genome stability by resolving these structures, a function linked to its G4-binding site that features an AKKQ amino acid motif. This site is thought to recognize oxidatively damaged G4, specifically those containing 8-oxoguanine (8oxoG) modifications. We hypothesize that FANCJ AKKQ recognition of 8oxoG-modified G4s (8oxoG4s) depends on the sequence context, the position of the lesion within the G4, and overall structural stability. Using fluorescence spectroscopy, we measured the binding affinities of a FANCJ AKKQ peptide for G4s formed by (GGGT)
