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

In this study, we report the synthesis of 2'-formamidonucleoside phosphoramidite derivatives and their incorporation into siRNA strands to reduce seed-based off-target effects of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). Formamido derivatives of all four nucleosides (A, G, C and U) were synthesized in 5-11 steps from commercial compounds. Introducing these derivatives into double-stranded RNA slightly reduced its thermodynamic stability, but X-ray crystallography and CD spectrum analysis confirmed that the RNA maintained its natural A-form structure. Although the introduction of the 2'-formamidonucleoside derivative at the 2nd position in the guide strand of the siRNA led to a slight decrease in the on-target RNAi activity, the siRNAs with different sequences incorporating 2'-formamidonucleoside with four kinds of nucleobases into any position other than 2nd position in the seed region revealed a significant suppression of off-target activity while maintaining on-target RNAi activity. This indicates that 2'-formamidonucleosides represent a promising approach for mitigating off-target effects in siRNA therapeutics.
