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

Triple helix formation by purine-rich oligonucleotides in the anti-parallel motif is inhibited by physiological concentrations of potassium. Substitution with 7-deazaxanthine (c7X) has been suggested as a strategy to overcome this effect. We have tested this by examining triple helix formation both in vitro and in vivo by a series of triple helix-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) containing guanine plus either adenine, thymine, or c7X. The TFOs were conjugated to psoralen at the 5'end and were designed to bind to a portion of the supF mutation reporter gene. Using in vitro gel mobility shift assays, we found that triplex formation by the c7X-substituted TFOs was relatively resistant to the presence of 140 mM K+. The c7X-containing TFOs were also superior in gene targeting experiments in mammalian cells, yielding 4- to 5-fold higher mutation frequencies in a shuttle vector-based mutagenesis assay designed to detect mutations induced by third strand-directed psoralen adducts. When the phosphodiester backbone was replaced by a phosphorothioate one, the in vitro binding of the c7X-TFOs was not affected, but the efficiency of in vivo triple helix formation was reduced. These results indicate the utility of the c7X substitution for in vivo gene targeting experiments, and they show that the feasibility of the triplex anti-gene strategy can be significantly enhanced by advances in nucleotide chemistry.
