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

Oxidatively-generated interstrand cross-links rank among the most deleterious DNA lesions. They originate from abasic sites, whose aldehyde group can form a covalent adduct after condensation with the exocyclic amino group of purines, sometimes with remarkably high yields. We use explicit solvent molecular dynamics simulations to unravel the structures and mechanical properties of two DNA sequences containing an interstrand cross-link. Our simulations palliate the absence of experimental structural and stiffness information for such DNA lesions and provide an unprecedented insight into the DNA embedding of lesions that represent a major challenge for DNA replication, transcription and gene regulation by preventing strand separation. Our results based on quantum chemical calculations also suggest that the embedding of the ICL within the duplex can tune the reaction profile, and hence can be responsible for the high difference in yields of formation.
