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

The cytosine base in DNA undergoes hydrolytic deamination at a considerable rate when UV radiation induces formation of a cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) with an adjacent pyrimidine base. We have synthesized a phosphoramidite building block of a cis-syn cyclobutane thymine-uracil dimer (T[]U), which is the deaminated form of the CPD at a TC site, and incorporated it into oligodeoxyribonucleotides. The previously reported method for synthesis of the thymine dimer (T[]T) was applied, using partially protected thymidylyl-(3'-5')-2'-deoxyuridine as the starting material, and after triplet- sensitized irradiation, the configuration of the base moiety in the major product was determined by NMR spectroscopy. Presence of the cis-syn cyclobutane dimer in the obtained oligonucleotides was confirmed by UV photoreversal and reaction with T4 endonuclease V. Using a 30mer containing T[]U, translesion synthesis by human DNA polymerase eta was analyzed. There was no difference in the results between the templates containing T[]T and T[]U and pol eta bypassed both lesions with the same efficiency, incorporating two adenylates. This enzyme showed fidelity to base pair formation, but this replication causes a C-->T transition because the original sequence is TC.
