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

Information about the cellular concentrations of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) is instrumental for mechanistic studies of DNA replication and for understanding diseases caused by defects in dNTP metabolism. The dNTPs are measured by methods based on either HPLC or DNA polymerization. An advantage with the HPLC-based techniques is that the parallel analysis of ribonucleoside triphosphates (rNTPs) can serve as an internal quality control of nucleotide integrity and extraction efficiency. We have developed a Freon-free trichloroacetic acid-based method to extract cellular nucleotides and an isocratic reverse phase HPLC-based technique that is able to separate dNTPs, rNTPs and ADP in a single run. The ability to measure the ADP levels improves the control of nucleotide integrity, and the use of an isocratic elution overcomes the shifting baseline problems in previously developed gradient-based reversed phase protocols for simultaneously measuring dNTPs and rNTPs. An optional DNA-polymerase-dependent step is used for confirmation that the dNTP peaks do not overlap with other components of the extracts, further increasing the reliability of the analysis. The method is compatible with a wide range of biological samples and has a sensitivity better than other UV-based HPLC protocols, closely matching that of mass spectrometry-based detection.
