Recruitment of transcription factors to the target site by triplex-forming oligonucleotides.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs) are generally designed to inhibit transcription or DNA replication but can be used for more diverse purposes. Here we have designed a hairpin-TFO able to recruit transcription factors to a target DNA. The designed oligonucleotide contains a triplex-forming sequence, linked through a nucleotide loop to a double-stranded hairpin including the SRE enhancer of the c-fos gene promoter. We show here that this oligonucleotide can specifically recognise its DNA target at physiological salt and pH conditions. The stability of the triplex formed under these conditions is very high: >90% of the triplex remains intact after 24 h of incubation. Bound to the double-stranded target DNA, the oligonucleotide retains its ability to interact specifically with transcription factors, recruiting them to the proximity of the target DNA. Our results suggest that this type of oligonucleotide may prove useful in the design of new tools for artificial modulation of gene expression.
