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

Although peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) have been extensively used in antisense strategies, the lack of any side chain in the PNA backbone deprives them of having any protein-like tertiary structures, limiting their use in nucleic acid-protein interactions. To overcome this limitation, scientists have developed hybrid monomeric structures like nucleobase amino acids (NBAs) where canonical nucleobases are covalently attached to natural or unnatural amino acid side chains, making them amenable to incorporation into peptides, proteins, and PNAs using solid- or solution-phase peptide synthesis. The resulting assemblies are capable of recognizing their complementary oligonucleotides as well as having the ability to form well-defined secondary/tertiary protein-like structures for enhanced nucleic acid-protein interactions. This perspective article chronicles the developments in this area of research over the years.
