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

A recently discovered DNA repair protein of 303 aa from the archaeal organism Ferroplasma acidarmanus was studied. This protein (AGTendoV) consists of a fusion of the C-terminal active site domain of O(6)-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (AGT) with an endonuclease V domain. The AGTendoV recombinant protein expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity repaired O(6)-methylguanine lesions in DNA via alkyl transfer action despite the complete absence of the N-terminal domain and some differences in key active site residues present in known AGTs. The AGTendoV recombinant protein also cleaved DNA substrates that contained the deaminated bases uracil, hypoxanthine, or xanthine in a similar manner to E. coli endonuclease V. Expression of AGTendoV in E. coli GWR109, a strain that lacks endogenous AGT activity, protected against both the killing and mutagenic activity of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine and was more effective in preventing mutations than human alkyltransferase, suggesting that the endonuclease V activity may also repair a promutagenic lesion produced by this alkylating agent. Expression of AGTendoV in a DNA repair-deficient E. coli nfi(-)alkA(-) strain protected from spontaneous mutations arising in saturated cultures and restored the mutation frequency to that found in the nfi(+) alkA(+) strain. These results demonstrate the physiological occurrence of two completely different but functional DNA repair activities in a single polypeptide chain.
