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

Nucleic acids are increasingly being considered for therapeutic uses, either to interfere with the function of specific nucleic acids or to bind specific proteins. Three types of nucleic acid drugs are discussed in this review: aptamers, compounds which bind specific proteins; triplex forming (antigene) compounds; which bind double stranded DNA; and ribozymes (catalytic RNA), which bind and cleave RNA targets. The binding of aptamers to protein may involve specific sequence recognition, although this is not always the case. The interaction of triplex forming oligonucleotides or ribozymes with their targets always involves specific sequence recognition and hybridization. Early optimism concerning the possibility of designing drugs without a priori knowledge of the structure of the target (except a nucleotide sequence) has been tempered by the finding that target structure has a dramatic effect upon the hybridization potential of the nucleic acid drug. Other obstacles to the creation of effective nucleic acid drugs are their relative high molecular weight (> 3300) and their sensitivity to degradation. The molecular weight of these compounds has created a significant delivery problem which needs to be solved if nucleic acid drugs are to become effective therapies.
