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

ytkD and mutT of Bacillus subtilis encode potential 8-oxo-dGTPases that can prevent the mutagenic effects of 8-oxo-dGTP. Loss of YtkD but not of MutT increased the spontaneous mutation frequency of growing cells. However, cells lacking both YtkD and MutT had a higher spontaneous mutation frequency than cells lacking YtkD. Loss of either YtkD or MutT sensitized growing cells to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and t-butylhydroperoxide (t-BHP), and the lack of both proteins sensitized growing cells to these agents even more. In contrast, B. subtilis spores lacking YtkD and MutT were not sensitized to H2O2, t-BHP, or heat. These results suggest (i) that YtkD and MutT play an antimutator role and protect growing cells of B. subtilis against oxidizing agents, and (ii) that neither YtkD nor MutT protects spores against potential DNA damage induced by oxidative stress or heat.
