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

Synthesis of the nucleoside building block of the 6-keto derivative of 2'-deoxy-5-methylcytidine (m5oxC) as an analog of an N3-protonated cytosine derivative is described. A series of 15mer oligonucleotides containing either four or six m5oxC residues has been prepared by chemical synthesis. Complexation of the 15 residue oligonucleotides with target 25mer duplexes results in DNA triplexes containing T-A-T and m5oxC-G-C base triplets. When the m5oxC-G-C base triplets are present in sequence positions that alternate with TAT base triplets, DNA triplexes are formed with Tm values that are pH independent in the range 6.4-8.5. A 25mer DNA duplex containing a series of five contiguous G-C base pairs cannot be effectively targeted with either m5C or M5oxC in the third strand. In the former case charge-charge repulsion effects likely lead to destabilization of the complex, while in the latter case ineffective base stacking may be to blame. However, if the m5C and M5oxC residues are present in the third strand in alternate sequence positions, then DNA triplexes can be formed with contiguous G-C targets even at pH 8.0.
