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

Sequence-specific conformational changes underpin essential biological processes, from information storage to energy transduction, but are difficult to replicate in synthetic systems. Here, we present a simple approach to encode in the primary sequence of molecular strands all the information required to govern both the formation and dynamic behavior of multistranded helices. We demonstrate that the sequence of oligo(m-phenylene ethynylene) strands composed of hydrophobic phenylene and charged pyridinium residues reliably direct the formation of either a single structure (e.g., a double helix) or dynamic assemblies (e.g., double and triple helices in exchange). In the latter case, transitions between different helical states can be controlled by concentration, temperature, or by the presence of anionic molecules. This minimal yet versatile design strategy lays the groundwork for the construction of adaptive supramolecular systems with programmable structure and function.
