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 α-hemolysin (α-HL) nanopore can detect DNA strands under an electrophoretic force via many regions of the channel. Our laboratories previously demonstrated that trapping duplex DNA in the vestibule of wild-type α-HL under force could distinguish the presence of an abasic site compared to a G:C base pair positioned in the latch zone at the top of the vestibule. Herein, a series of duplexes were probed in the latch zone to establish if this region can detect more subtle features of base pairs beyond the complete absence of a base. The results of these studies demonstrate that the most sensitive region of the latch can readily discriminate duplexes in which one G:C base pair is replaced by an A:T. Additional experiments determined that while neither 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine nor 7-deazaguanine opposite C could be differentiated from a G:C base pair, in contrast, the epigenetic marker 5-methylcytosine, when present in both strands of the duplex, yielded new blocking currents when compared to strands with unmodified cytosine. The results are discussed with respect to experimental design for utilization of the latch zone of α-HL to probe specific regions of genomic samples.
