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

Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) is a critical DNA repair enzyme that is well conserved and ubiquitous in nearly all life forms. UDG protects genomic information integrity by catalyzing the excision from DNA of uracil nucleobases resulting from misincorporation or spontaneous cytosine deamination. UDG-mediated strand cleavage is also an important tool in molecular biotechnology, allowing for controlled and location-specific cleavage of single- and double DNA chemically or enzymatically synthesized with single or multiple incorporations of deoxyuridine. Although the cleavage mechanism is well-understood, detailed knowledge of efficiency and sequence specificity, in both single and double-stranded DNA contexts, has so far remained incomplete. Here we use an experimental approach based on the large-scale photolithographic synthesis of uracil-containing DNA oligonucleotides to comprehensively probe the context-dependent uracil excision efficiency of UDG.
