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

Therapeutic oligonucleotides (ONs) commonly incorporate phosphorothioate (PS) modifications. These introduce chiral centers and generate ON diastereomers. The increasing number of ONs undergoing clinical trials and reaching the market has led to a growing interest to better characterize the ON diastereomer composition, especially for small interfering ribonucleic acids (siRNAs). In this study, and for the first time, we identify higher-order structures as the major cause of ON diastereomer separation in hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC). We have used conformational predictions and melting profiles of several representative full-length ONs to first analyze ON folding and then run mass spectrometry and HILIC to underpin the link between their folding and diastereomer separation. On top, we show how one can either enhance or suppress diastereomer separation depending on chromatographic settings, such as column temperature, pore size, stationary phase, mobile-phase ionic strength, and organic modifier. This work will significantly facilitate future HILIC-based characterization of PS-containing ONs; e.g., enabling monitoring of batch-to-batch diastereomer distributions in full-length siRNAs, a complex task that is now for the first time shown as possible on this delicate class of therapeutic double-stranded ONs.
