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

DNA polymerase beta plays a key role in base excision repair. We have previously shown that the hydrophobic hinge region of polymerase beta, which is distant from its active site, plays a critical role in the fidelity of DNA synthesis by this enzyme. The I260Q hinge variant of polymerase beta misincorporates nucleotides with a significantly higher catalytic efficiency than the wild-type enzyme. In the study described here, we show that I260Q extends mispaired primer termini. The kinetic basis for extension of mispairs is defective discrimination by I260Q at the level of ground-state binding of the dNTP substrate. Our results suggest that the hydrophobic hinge region influences the geometry of the dNTP binding pocket exclusively. Because the DNA forms part of the binding pocket, our data are also consistent with the interpretation that the mispaired primer terminus affects the geometry of the dNTP binding pocket such that the I260Q variant has a higher affinity for the incoming dNTP than wild-type polymerase beta.
