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

MutY DNA glycosylase homologs (MYH or MUTYH) reduce G:C to T:A mutations by removing misincorporated adenines or 2-hydroxyadenines paired with guanine or 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxo-G). Mutations in the human MYH (hMYH) gene are associated with the colorectal cancer predisposition syndrome MYH-associated polyposis. To examine the function of MYH in human cells, we regulated MYH gene expression by knockdown or overproduction. MYH knockdown human HeLa cells are more sensitive to the killing effects of H2O2 than the control cells. In addition, hMYH knockdown cells have altered cell morphology, display enhanced susceptibility to apoptosis, and have altered DNA signaling activation in response to oxidative stress. The cell cycle progression of hMYH knockdown cells is also different from that of the control cells following oxidative stress. Moreover, hMYH knockdown cells contain higher levels of 8-oxo-G lesions than the control cells following H2O2 treatment. Although MYH does not directly remove 8-oxo-G, MYH may generate favorable substrates for other repair enzymes. Overexpression of mouse Myh (mMyh) in human mismatch repair defective HCT15 cells makes the cells more resistant to killing and refractory to apoptosis by oxidative stress than the cells transfected with vector. In conclusion, MYH is a vital DNA repair enzyme that protects cells from oxidative DNA damage and is critical for a proper cellular response to DNA damage.
