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

Hydrolytic deamination of cytosine to uracil in cellular DNA is a major source of C-to-T transition mutations if uracil is not repaired by the DNA base excision repair (BER) pathway. Since deamination increases rapidly with temperature, hyperthermophiles, in particular, are expected to succumb to such damage. There has been only one report of crenarchaeotic BER showing strong similarities to that in most eukaryotes and bacteria for hyperthermophilic Archaea. Here we report a different type of BER performed by extract prepared from cells of the euryarchaeon Archaeoglobus fulgidus. Although immunodepletion showed that the monofunctional family 4 type of uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) is the principal and probably only UDG in this organism, a β-elimination mechanism rather than a hydrolytic mechanism is employed for incision of the abasic site following uracil removal. The resulting 3' remnant is removed by efficient 3'-phosphodiesterase activity followed by single-nucleotide insertion and ligation. The finding that repair product formation is stimulated similarly by ATP and ADP in vitro raises the question of whether ADP is more important in vivo because of its higher heat stability.
