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

We have attempted to alleviate the pH dependency of triplex recognition of guanine by using intermolecular triplexes containing 2-amino-5-(2-deoxy-d-ribofuranosyl)pyridine (AP) as an analogue of 2'-deoxycytidine (dC). We find that for the beta-anomer of AP, the complex between (AP)6T6and the target site G6A6*T6C6is stable, generating a clear DNase I footprint at oligonucleotide concentrations as low as 0.25 microM at pH 5.0, in contrast to 50 microM C6T6which has no effect on the cleavage pattern. This complex is still stable at pH 6.5 producing a footprint with 1 microM oligonucleotide. Oligonucleotides containing the alpha-anomer of AP are much less effective than the beta-anomer, though in some instances they are more stable than the unmodified oligonucleotides. The results of molecular dynamics studies on a range of AP-containing triplexes has rationalized the observed stability behaviour in terms of hydrogen-bonding behaviour.
