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

G-quadruplexes (G4s) are four-stranded DNA or RNA structures formed by guanine-rich sequences. They occur in functional regions of the genomic material, including the promoter part of genes, regulatory region, and telomeric threads. G4s play a key role in various biological processes, including transcription, replication, and telomere maintenance. Guanidine-containing derivatives can bind to G-quadruplexes, either by intercalating into the structure or by interacting with the grooves or loops. The binding can stabilize the G-quadruplex, potentially affecting its biological function. In this paper, the ability of guanidinium-containing hordatines to interact with G4 was evaluated. Analogues lacking the guanidinium group or showing the benzofuran system instead of the dihydrobenzofuran core were prepared and tested as well. NMR titration and docking calculations were used to probe the binding of the compounds to G4 of
