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

Inflammation and oxidative stress generate free radicals that oxidize guanine (G) in DNA to 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG), and this reaction is prominent in the G-rich telomere sequence. In telomeres, OG is not efficiently removed by repair pathways allowing its concentration to build, surprisingly without any immediate negative consequences to stability. Herein, OG was synthesized in five repeats of the human telomere sequence (TTAGGG)n, at the 5'-G of the 5'-most, middle, and 3'-most G tracks, representing hotspots for oxidation. These synthetic oligomers were folded in relevant amounts of K(+)/Na(+) to adopt hybrid G-quadruplex folds. The structural impact of OG was assayed by circular dichroism, thermal melting, (1)H NMR, and single-molecule profiling by the α-hemolysin nanopore. On the basis of these results, OG was well accommodated in the five-repeat sequences by looping out the damaged G track to allow the other four tracks to adopt a hybrid G-quadruplex. These results run counter to previous studies with OG in four-repeat telomere sequences that found OG to be highly destabilizing and causing significant reorientation of the fold. When taking a wider view of the human telomere sequence and considering additional repeats, we found OG to cause minimal impact on the structure. The plasticity of this repeat sequence addresses how OG concentrations can increase in telomeres without immediate telomere instability or attrition.
