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

AS1411 is a G-rich DNA aptamer that targets the multifunctional RNA-binding protein nucleolin. AS1411 has both antiproliferative and cell size-regulating activities and has been evaluated for clinical utility, reaching phase II trials as an anticancer agent. The mechanisms underlying cell size effects of AS1411 are not well understood and broad characterization of its molecular effects is lacking. Here, we used a multi-omics approach to profile transcriptome, proteome and lipidome changes in AS1411-treated NIH-3T3 cells, which increase in size in response to the aptamer. We found that AS1411 caused downregulation of cholesterol biosynthesis pathway enzymes at both mRNA and protein levels, without an accompanying reduction in cellular cholesterol levels or cholesterol uptake. In addition, AS1411 induced changes in several lipid classes, including increases in phosphatidylethanolamine levels. Ratiometric imaging of Di-4-ANEPPS-labeled cells showed that AS1411 decreases the fluidity of intracellular membranes. Thus, aptamer engagement of nucleolin affects lipid biosynthesis and homeostasis, likely contributing to its roles in cell size control.
