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 tripeptide 1,2-dihydro-(3H)-pyrrolo[3,2-e]indole-7-carboxylate (CDPI3) binds to the minor groove of DNA with high affinity. When this minor groove binder (MGB) is conjugated to the 5'-end of short oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs), the conjugates form unusually stable hybrids with complementary DNA in which the tethered CDPI3group resides in the minor groove. We show that these conjugates can be used as PCR primers. Due to their unusually high binding affinity, conjugates as short as 8-10mers can be used to amplify DNA with good specificity and efficiency. The reduced length primers described here might be appropriate for the PCR amplification of viral sequences which possess a high degree of variability (e.g., HPV, HIV) or for recent techniques such as gene hunting and differential display which amplify multiple sequences using short primer pairs.
