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

In this study, we report the synthesis of an alkylene linker containing a terminal 2-cyanoethyl protected selenium functionality for coupling at the 5'-end of an oligonucleotide by solid phase synthesis for the preparation of oligonucleotide conjugates. Upon deprotection and cleavage from the solid support, quantitative formation of a 5'-diselenide cross-linked oligonucleotide dimer occurred, which was verified by denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, ion-exchange (IEX) high performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Using dithiothreitol a reducing agent, the diselenide linkage can be converted into the corresponding monomeric selenol, which then reacts with an alkyl halide to form the desired conjugate. The efficient conjugation of various moieties demonstrates the adaptability of the platform to support oligonucleotide-based applications in chemical biology.
