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

A huge diversity of modified nucleobases is used as a tool for studying DNA and RNA. Due to practical reasons, the most suitable positions for modifications are C5 of pyrimidines and C7 of purines. Unfortunately, by using these two positions only, one cannot expand a repertoire of modified nucleotides to a maximum. Here, we demonstrate the synthesis and enzymatic incorporation of novel N4-acylated 2'-deoxycytidine nucleotides (dCAcyl). We find that a variety of family A and B DNA polymerases efficiently use dCAcylTPs as substrates. In addition to the formation of complementary CAcyl•G pair, a strong base-pairing between N4-acyl-cytosine and adenine takes place when Taq, Klenow fragment (exo-), Bsm and KOD XL DNA polymerases are used for the primer extension reactions. In contrast, a proofreading phi29 DNA polymerase successfully utilizes dCAcylTPs but is prone to form CAcyl•A base pair under the same conditions. Moreover, we show that terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase is able to incorporate as many as several hundred N4-acylated-deoxycytidine nucleotides. These data reveal novel N4-acylated deoxycytidine nucleotides as beneficial substrates for the enzymatic synthesis of modified DNA, which can be further applied for specific labelling of DNA fragments, selection of aptamers or photoimmobilization.
