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

Dynamic regulation and faithful maintenance of proper DNA methylation patterns are essential for many cellular functions. 5-Formylcytosine (5fC), a newly discovered oxidized form of methylcytosine (mC) is involved in active DNA demethylation process. The latest progresses suggest exciting novel functional roles of this residue. Chemical tools are desired to further elucidate the functional roles of 5fC and to modulate dynamics of DNA demethylation and downstream biological processes. Here we designed and constructed a chemical probe, consisting of an aldehyde targeting group and an intercalation group. This molecule can selectively react with 5fC and subsequently inhibit base excision by thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG) and cause significant pausing for both DNA and RNA polymerase elongation. Further investigation using a GFP reporter system in living cells revealed that the ligand modification in 5fC sites at 5'-UTR of the GFP gene greatly inhibited the GFP expression level. These results altogether confirmed our successful design and established a new approach for generating functional ligands that target the formylcytosine sites and modulate 5fC-related biological processes.
