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

The unusual structural forms of telomere DNA, which protect the ends of chromosomes during replication, may render it vulnerable to unprecedented photodamage, possibly involving nonadjacent bases that are made proximate by folding. The G-quadruplex for the human telomere sequence consisting of a repeating d(TTAGGG) is one unusual form. Tel22, d[AGGG(TTAGGG)(3)], forms a basket structure in the presence of Na(+) and may form multiple equilibrating structures in the presence of K(+) with hybrid-type structures predominating. UVB irradiation of d[AGGG(TTAGGG)(3)] in the presence of Na(+) results in a cis,syn thymine dimer between two adjacent Ts in a TTA loop and a mixture of nonadjacent anti thymine dimers between various loops. Irradiation in the presence of K(+), however, produces, in addition to these same products, a large amount of specific anti thymine dimers formed between either T in loop 1 and the central T in loop 3. These latter species were not observed in the presence of Na(+). Interloop-specific anti thymine dimers are incompatible with hybrid-type structures, but could arise from a chair or basket-type structure or from triplex intermediates involved in interconverting these structures. If these unique nonadjacent anti thymine dimer photoproducts also form in vivo, they would constitute a previously unrecognized type of DNA photodamage that may interfere with telomere replication and present a unique challenge to DNA repair. Furthermore, these unusual anti photoproducts may be used to establish the presence of G-quadruplex or quadruplex-like structures in vivo.
