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

Here, we present the theoretical-computational modeling of the oxidation properties of four DNA nucleosides and nucleotides and a set of dinucleotides in solutions. Our estimates of the vertical ionization energies and reduction potentials, close to the corresponding experimental data, show that an accurate calculation of the molecular electronic properties in solutions requires a proper treatment of the effect of the environment. In particular, we found that the effect of the environment is to stabilize the oxidized state of the nucleobases resulting in a remarkable reduction-up to 6.6 eV-of the energy with respect to the gas phase. Our estimates of the aqueous and gas-phase vertical ionization energies, in good agreement with photoelectron spectroscopy experiments, also show that the effect on the reduction potential of the phosphate group and of the additional nucleotide in dinucleotides is rather limited.
