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

Base excision repair (BER) is the major pathway employed to excise oxidized DNA lesions. Human Neil1, a versatile glycosylase in the BER pathway, repairs a diverse array of oxidative lesions; however, the most prevalent, 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG), is only weakly excised. The structural origin of hNeil1's ability to repair a variety of lesions but not 8-oxoG is a model system for connecting enzyme structure and lesion-recognition specificity. To elucidate structural properties determining hNeil1's substrate specificities, we have investigated it in complex with two pairs of representative well-repaired substrates: the R- and S-spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp) stereoisomers, nonplanar further oxidation products of guanine, and the 5R,6S- and 5S,6R-thymine glycol (Tg) stereoisomers, the most prevalent oxidative lesions of thymine. We also investigate the poorly repaired 8-oxoG. We employed molecular modeling and 10 ns molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The results of our investigations provide structural explanations for the ability of hNeil1 to excise a variety of oxidative lesions: they possess common chemical features, namely, a pyrimidine-like ring and shared hydrogen bond donor-acceptor properties, which allow the lesions to fit well in the binding pocket, which is somewhat flexible. However, the planar 8-oxoG is not as well accommodated in the shallow and comparatively cramped recognition pocket; it has fewer hydrogen bonding interactions with the enzyme and a solvent exposed six-membered ring, consistent with its poor repair susceptibility by this enzyme.
