Impeding DNA Polymerase β Activity by Oleic Acid to Inhibit Base Excision Repair and Induce Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Hepatic Cells.
Article in Cell biochemistry and biophysics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Free fatty acids (FFAs) hepatic accumulation and the resulting oxidative stress contribute to several chronic liver diseases including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. However, the underlying pathological mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we propose a novel mechanism whereby the toxicity of FFAs detrimentally affects DNA repair activity. Specifically, we have discovered that oleic acid (OA), a prominent dietary free fatty acid, inhibits the activity of DNA polymerase β (Pol β), a crucial enzyme involved in base excision repair (BER), by actively competing with 2'-deoxycytidine-5'-triphosphate. Consequently, OA hinders the efficiency of BER, leading to the accumulation of DNA damage in hepatocytes overloaded with FFAs. Additionally, the excessive presence of both OA and palmitic acid (PA) lead to mitochondrial dysfunction in hepatocytes. These findings suggest that the accumulation of FFAs hampers Pol β activity and contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction, shedding light on potential pathogenic mechanisms underlying FFAs-related diseases.
