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

The use of complementary RNA or DNA sequences to selectively interfere with the utilization of mRNA of a target gene is an attractive therapeutic strategy. Two well-studied targets for oligonucleotide therapy are the c-mycand c-mybproto-oncogenes. It has been reported that sequences which contain four contiguous Gs can elicit a non-antisense response, due to the formation of a homotetrameric G quartet structure. Therefore, it was of interest to determine whether anti-c-mycand anti-c-mybphosphorothioate DNAs including tetraguanylate form higher order structures under physiologically relevant salt conditions and temperature. First, the identity of the higher order structure was established and was found to be a tetraplex. Employing intracellular (high K+), extracellular (low K+) and normal saline (no K+) salt mixtures, native gel electrophoresis revealed no tetraplex formation at 37 degrees C, the physiologically relevant temperature. On the other hand, tetraplex structure formation was observed at 4 and 23 degrees C. Hence, the potential for these sequences to form tetraplex structures at lower temperatures may not be relevant for their activity in cells and animals at physiological temperature.
