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 previously developed a method for monitoring the integrity of oligonucleotides in vitro and in vivo by quantitating fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between two different fluorochromes attached to a single oligonucleotide. As an extension of this analysis, we examined changes in the extent of FRET in the presence or absence of target nucleic acids with a specific sequence and a higher-ordered structure. In this system FRET was maximal when probes were free in solution and a decrease in FRET was evidence of successful hybridization. We used a single-stranded oligodeoxyribonucleotide labeled at its 5'-end and its 3'-end with 6-carboxyfluorescein and 6-carboxytetramethylrhodamine, respectively. Incubation of the probe with a single-stranded complementary oligonucleotide reduced the FRET. Moreover, a small change in FRET was also observed when the probe was incubated with an oligonucleotide in which the target site had been embedded in a stable hairpin structure. The decrease in the extent of FRET depended on the length of the stem region of the hairpin structure and also on the higher-ordered structure of the probe. These results indicate that this spectrofluorometric method and FRET probes can be used to estimate the efficacy of hybridization between a probe and its target site within highly ordered structures. This conclusion based on changes in FRET was confirmed by gel-shift assays.
