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 acid junctions are key to many biological functions from recombination and repair to viral nucleic acid insertion and are an attractive, functional biomolecular target. We describe a quadruple-stranded diplatinum helicate that binds both three-way (3WJ) and four-way DNA junctions (4WJ). This allows us to probe the relative importance of size and shape in junction-binder design. Despite the helicate's tetragonal symmetry/shape being compatible with the 4WJ, microscale thermophoresis (MST), isothermal calorimetry (ITC), and gel electrophoresis competition experiments demonstrate that this metallo-supramolecule displays a stronger affinity for 3WJs (K
