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

Identifying positions at which anticancer drug molecules incorporate into DNA is essential to define mechanisms underlying their activity, but current methodologies cannot yet achieve this. The thymidine fluorine substitution product trifluridine (FTD) is a DNA-damaging anticancer agent thought to incorporate into thymine positions in DNA. This mechanism, however, has not been directly confirmed. Here, we report a means to detect FTD in a single-stranded oligonucleotide using a method to distinguish single molecules by differences in electrical conductance. Entire sequences of 21-base single-stranded DNAs with and without incorporated drug were determined based on single-molecule conductances of the drug and four deoxynucleosides, the first direct observation of its kind. This methodology may foster rapid development of more effective anticancer drugs.
