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

DNA glycosylases remove damaged or enzymatically modified nucleobases from DNA, thereby initiating the base excision repair (BER) pathway, which is found in all forms of life. These ubiquitous enzymes promote genomic integrity by initiating repair of mutagenic and/or cytotoxic lesions that arise continuously due to alkylation, deamination, or oxidation of the normal bases in DNA. Glycosylases also perform essential roles in epigenetic regulation of gene expression, by targeting enzymatically-modified forms of the canonical DNA bases. Monofunctional DNA glycosylases hydrolyze the N-glycosidic bond to liberate the target base, while bifunctional glycosylases mediate glycosyl transfer using an amine group of the enzyme, generating a Schiff base intermediate that facilitates their second activity, cleavage of the DNA backbone. Here we review recent advances in understanding the chemical mechanism of monofunctional DNA glycosylases, with an emphasis on how the reactions are influenced by the properties of the nucleobase leaving-group, the moiety that varies across the vast range of substrates targeted by these enzymes.
