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

Heme-G-quadruplex DNAzymes are promising biomolecular catalysts; however, their structural stability and catalytic function under elevated-temperature aqueous conditions remain poorly understood. We systematically demonstrate that rationally increasing the number of consecutively stacked G-quartets in the DNA scaffold provides a useful strategy for constructing a highly thermostable heme-G-quadruplex DNAzyme. Our results establish a clear relationship between G-quartet stacking and enhanced thermal robustness of heme-G-quadruplex DNAzymes. The engineered DNAzyme retained its peroxidase activity at temperatures up to 90 °C, far exceeding the thermal stability of conventional protein-based peroxidases, which typically denature under such conditions. These results demonstrate the potential of G-quadruplex engineering for designing robust biocatalysts and establish a general strategy for engineering thermostable DNAzymes.
