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 helices represent an attractive method for modulating specific gene expression. In particular, cross-linking between a triplex-forming oligonucleotide (TFO) and its duplex DNA target, typically through the formation of psoralen photoadducts, allows efficient blocking of elongation by RNA polymerases in vitro. However, in vivo, this approach is limited by DNA repair of the photoadduct. Here we describe the use of an oligodeoxyribonucleotide 19mer psoralen-modified TFO to form covalent linkages between an oligonucleotide and both strands of the targeted duplex DNA, thereby efficiently blocking expression of a luciferase reporter gene. Most importantly, we demonstrate that both the psoralen cross-link and the purine-motif triplex remained intact for at least 72 h post-transfection, indicating that such species can persist for an extended period of time in vivo. These findings support the feasibility of an antigene approach for the therapeutic regulation of specific gene expression.
