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

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) of reversed-phase HPLC-purified phosphorothioate oligodeoxynucleotides (S-ODNs), and the single-('n - 1') and double-nucleotide deletion ('n - 2') impurities subsequently isolated from them by preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), has provided direct analytical data for the identification of both S-ODN products and their major oligomeric impurities. The 'n - 1' impurity seen by PAGE consists of a mixture of all possible single deletion sequences relative to the parent S-ODN (n-mer) and results from repetitive, though minor, imperfections in the synthesis cycle, such as incomplete detritylation, or incomplete coupling followed by incomplete capping or incomplete sulfurization. Therefore each possible 'n - 1', 'n - 2', and other short-mer sequence is present only in very low abundance. The conversion of the gel-isolated 'n - 1' impurity from phosphorothioate to phosphodiester followed by base composition-dependent anion-exchange chromatography allowed for independent confirmation of its heterogeneity and quantitation of its various components. ESI-MS of both S-ODN products and their gel-isolated impurities allowed for this first molecular identification of 'n - 1', 'n - 2' and other oligomeric impurities in S-ODNs obtained from state-of-the-art solid-phase synthesis and reversed-phase HPLC purification methods.
