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

The uridin-2'-yl radical (1) has been proposed as an intermediate during RNA oxidation. However, its reactivity has not been thoroughly studied due to the complex conditions under which it is typically generated. The uridin-2'-yl radical was independently generated from a benzyl ketone (2a) via Norrish type I photocleavage upon irradiation at λmax = 350 nm. Dioxygen and β-mercaptoethanol are unable to compete with loss of uracil from 1 in phosphate buffer. Thiol trapping competes with uracil fragmentation in less polar solvent conditions. This is ascribed mostly to a reduction in the rate constant for uracil elimination in the less polar solvent. Hydrogen atom transfer to 1 from β-mercaptoethanol occurs exclusively from the α-face to produce arabinouridine. Mass balances range from 72 to 95%. Furthermore, the synthesis of 2a is amenable to formation of the requisite phosphoramidite for solid-phase oligonucleotide synthesis. This and the fidelity with which the urdin-2'-yl radical is generated from 2a suggest that this precursor should be useful for studying the radical's reactivity in synthetic oligonucleotides.
