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

Methamphetamine (METH) increases the oxidative DNA lesion 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) in fetal mouse brain, and causes postnatal motor coordination deficits after in utero exposure. Like oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (OGG1), the Cockayne syndrome B (CSB) protein is involved in the repair of oxidatively damaged DNA, although its function is unclear. Here we used CSB-deficient Csb(m/m) knockout mice to investigate the developmental role of DNA oxidation and CSB in METH-initiated neurodevelopmental deficits. METH (40 mg/kg intraperitoneally) administration to pregnant Csb females on gestational day 17 increased 8-oxoG levels in Csb(m/m) fetal brains (p < 0.05). CSB modulated 8-oxoG levels independent of OGG1 activity, as 8-oxoG incision activity in fetal nuclear extracts was identical in Csb(m/m) and Csb(+/+)mice. This CSB effect was evident despite 7.1-fold higher OGG1 activity in Csb(+/+) mice compared to outbred CD-1 mice. Female Csb(m/m) offspring exposed in utero to METH exhibited motor coordination deficits postnatally (p < 0.05). In utero METH exposure did not cause dopaminergic nerve terminal degeneration, in contrast to adult exposures. This is the first evidence that CSB protects the fetus from xenobiotic-enhanced DNA oxidation and postnatal functional deficits, suggesting that oxidatively damaged DNA is developmentally pathogenic, and that fetal CSB activity may modulate the risk of reactive oxygen species-mediated adverse developmental outcomes.
