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

Ribonuclease H (RNase H) specifically degrades the RNA of RNA/DNA hybrid. Recent study has shown that a single ribonucleotide is embedded in DNA double strand at every few thousand base pairs in human genome, and human RNase H2 is involved in its removal. Here, we examined the effects of neutral salts and pH on the activity and stability of human RNase H2. NaCl, KCl, RbCl and NaBr increased the activity to 170-390% at 10-60 mM, while LiCl, LiBr and CsCl inhibited it, suggesting that species of cation, but not anion, is responsible for the effect on activity. NaCl and KCl increased the stability by decreasing the first-order rate constant of the inactivation to 50-60% at 60-80 mM. The activity at 25-35 °C exhibited a narrow bell-shaped pH-dependence with the acidic and alkaline pKe (pKe1 and pKe2) values of 7.3 - 7.6 and 8.1 - 8.8, respectively. Enthalpy changes (ΔH°) of deprotonation were 5 ± 21 kJ mol-1 for pKe1 and 68 ± 25 kJ mol-1 for pKe2. These results suggest that the ionizable groups responsible for pKe1 may be two out of Asp34, Glu35 and Asp141 of DEDD motif, and that for pKe2 may be Lys69 of DSK motif.
