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

Over the last three decades, our view of RNA has changed from a simple intermediate supporting protein synthesis to a major regulator of biological processes. In the expanding area of RNA research, peptide nucleic acid (PNA) is emerging as a promising ligand for triple-helical recognition of complex RNAs. As discussed in this feature article, the key advantages of PNAs are high sequence specificity and affinity for RNA (>10 fold higher than for DNA) that are difficult to achieve with small molecule ligands. Emerging studies demonstrate that triple-helical binding of PNAs can modulate biological function and control dynamic conformational equilibria of complex folded RNAs. These results suggest that PNA has a unique potential as a research tool and therapeutic compound targeting RNA. The remaining problems hampering advances in these directions are limitations of sequences that can be recognized by Hoogsteen triplexes (typically purine rich tracts), poor cellular uptake and bioavailability of PNA, and potential off-target effects in biological systems. Recent exciting studies are discussed that illustrate how synthetic nucleic acid chemistry provides innovative solutions for these problems.
