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

O(6)-methylguanine (O(6)-MeG) is a miscoding DNA lesion arising from the alkylation of guanine. This report uses the bacteriophage T4 DNA polymerase as a model to probe the roles of hydrogen-bonding interactions, shape/size, and nucleobase desolvation during the replication of this miscoding lesion. This was accomplished by using transient kinetic techniques to monitor the kinetic parameters for incorporating and extending natural and nonnatural nucleotides. In general, the efficiency of nucleotide incorporation does not depend on the hydrogen-bonding potential of the incoming nucleotide. Instead, nucleobase hydrophobicity and shape complementarity appear to be the preeminent factors controlling nucleotide incorporation. In addition, shape complementarity plays a large role in controlling the extension of various mispairs containing O(6)-MeG. This is evident as the rate constants for extension correlate with proper interglycosyl distances and symmetry between the base angles of the formed mispair. Base pairs not conforming to an acceptable geometry within the polymerase's active site are refractory to elongation and are processed via exonuclease proofreading. The collective data set encompassing nucleotide incorporation, extension, and excision is used to generate a model accounting for the mutagenic potential of O(6)-MeG observed in vivo. In addition, kinetic studies monitoring the incorporation and extension of nonnatural nucleotides identified an analog that displays high selectivity for incorporation opposite O(6)-MeG compared to unmodified purines. The unusual selectivity of this analog for replicating damaged DNA provides a novel biochemical tool to study translesion DNA synthesis.
