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

Humans are exposed to N-nitroso compounds through environmental exposure and endogenous metabolism. Some N-nitroso compounds can be metabolically activated to yield diazoacetate, which is known to induce DNA carboxymethylation. DNA lesion measurement remains one of the core tasks in toxicology and in evaluating human health risks associated with carcinogen exposure. In this study, we developed a highly sensitive nanoflow liquid chromatography-nanoelectrospray ionization-multistage tandem mass spectrometry (nLC-nESI-MS(3)) method for the simultaneous quantification of O(6)-carboxymethyl-2'-deoxyguanosine (O(6)-CMdG), O(6)-methyl-2'-deoxyguanosine (O(6)-MedG), and N(6)-carboxymethyl-2'-deoxyadenosine (N(6)-CMdA). We were able to measure the levels of these three lesions with the use of low-microgram quantities of DNA from cultured human skin fibroblasts and human colorectal carcinoma cells treated with azaserine, a DNA carboxymethylating agent. Our results revealed that the levels of O(6)-CMdG and O(6)-MedG increased when the dose of azaserine was increased from 0 to 450 μM. We, however, did not observe an apparent dose-dependent induction of N(6)-CMdA, suggesting the presence of repair mechanism(s) for the rapid clearance of this lesion in cells. This is the first report about the application of nLC-nESI-MS(3) technique for the simultaneous quantification of O(6)-CMdG, O(6)-MedG, and N(6)-CMdA. The method reported here will be useful for future investigations about the repair of the carboxymethylated DNA lesions and about the implications of these lesions in carcinogenesis.
