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 identification and discrimination of four epigenetic modifications to cytosine in the proposed active demethylation cycle is demonstrated at the single-molecule level, without the need for chemical pretreatment or labeling. The wild-type protein nanopore α-hemolysin is used to capture individual DNA duplexes containing a single cytosine-cytosine mismatch. The mismatch is held at the latch constriction of α-hemolysin, which is used to monitor the kinetics of base-flipping at the mismatch site. Base-flipping and the subsequent interactions between the DNA and the protein are dramatically altered when one of the cytosine bases is replaced with methyl-, hydroxymethyl-, formyl-, or carboxylcytosine. As well as providing a route to single-molecule analysis of important epigenetic markers in DNA, our results provide important insights into how the introduction of biologically relevant, but poorly understood, modifications to cytosine affect the local conformational dynamics of a DNA duplex in a confined environment.
