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

DNA-protein interactions play an essential role in fundamental cellular biological processes. Herein, we report a photocatalytic proximity labeling approach for the broad screening of G-quadruplex (G4)-interacting proteins (G4IPs) using human telomere G4 DNA modified with a photocatalyst (Ruthenium complex or BODIPY). We confirmed efficient labeling of unwinding protein 1 (UP1), a model of G4-interacting protein, with 1-methyl-4-arylurazole (MAUra) as a labeling reagent under blue light irradiation. We applied this labeling approach to nuclear extract proteins and identified labeled proteins using quantitative proteomics analysis. Numerous unknown G4 binding protein candidates were identified. Notably, the hexokinase-1 (HK1) protein was identified as a G4IP, and its selective binding toward G4 DNA was confirmed. This finding could be used to highlight the essential subcellular G4-mediated functions of HK1. The proposed labeling approach is a promising tool for investigating the protein interactions of the higher-order structural motifs and functional nucleic acids.
