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

In addition to DNA cytosine methylation (5-methyl-2'-deoxycytidine, m5dC), DNA adenine methylation (N6-methyl-2'-deoxyadenosine, m6dA) is another DNA modification that has been discovered in eukaryotes. Recent studies demonstrated that the content and distribution of m6dA in genomic DNA of vertebrates and mammals exhibit dynamic regulation, indicating m6dA may function as a potential epigenetic mark in DNA of eukaryotes besides m5dC. Whether m6dA undergoes the further oxidation in a similar way to m5dC remains elusive. Here, we reported the existence of a new DNA modification, N6-hydroxymethyl-2'-deoxyadenosine (hm6dA), in genomic DNA of mammalian cells and tissues. We found that hm6dA can be formed from the hydroxylation of m6dA by the Fe2+- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent ALKBH1 protein in genomic DNA of mammals. In addition, the content of hm6dA exhibited significant increase in lung carcinoma tissues. The increased expression of ALKBH1 in lung carcinoma tissues may contribute to the increase of hm6dA in DNA. Taken together, our study reported the existence and formation of hm6dA in genomic DNA of mammals.
