Translesion synthesis past tamoxifen-derived DNA adducts by human DNA polymerases eta and kappa.

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.
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 long-term treatment of tamoxifen (TAM), widely used for adjuvant chemotherapy and chemoprevention for breast cancer, increases a risk of developing endometrial cancer. A high frequency of K-ras mutations has been observed in the endometrium of women treated with TAM. Human DNA polymerase (pol) eta and pol kappa are highly expressed in the reproductive organs and are associated with translesion synthesis past bulky DNA adducts. To explore the miscoding properties of alpha-(N2-deoxyguanosinyl)tamoxifen (dG-N2-TAM), a major TAM-DNA adduct, site-specifically modified oligodeoxynucleotides containing a single diastereoisomer of trans or cis forms of dG-N2-TAM were prepared by phosphoramidite chemical procedure and used as templates. The primer extension reaction catalyzed by pol kappa deltaC, a truncated form of pol kappa, extended more efficiently past the adduct than that of pol eta by incorporating dCMP, a correct base, opposite the adduct. With pol eta, all diastereoisomers of dG-N2-TAM promoted small amounts of direct incorporation of dAMP and deletions. With pol kappa deltaC, dG-N2-TAM promoted small amounts of dTMP and/or dAMP incorporations and deletions. The miscoding properties varied depending on the diastereoisomer of dG-N2-TAM adducts and the DNA pol used. Steady-state kinetic studies were also performed using either the nonspecific sequence or the K-ras gene sequence containing a single dG-N2-TAM at the second base of codon 12. With pol eta, the bypass frequency past the dA x dG-N2-TAM pair positioned in the K-ras sequence was only 2.3 times lower than that for the dC x dG-N2-TAM pair, indicating that dG-N2-TAM in the K-ras sequence has higher miscoding potential than that in the nonspecific sequence. However, with pol kappa deltaC, the bypass frequency past the dC x dG-N2-TAM pair was higher than that of the dT x dG-N2-TAM pair in both sequences. The properties of pol eta and pol kappa are consistent with the mutagenic events attributed to TAM-DNA adducts.
