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

DNA damage is a threat to genome integrity and can be a cause of many human diseases, owing to either changes in the chemical structure of DNA or conversion of the damage into a mutation, that is, a permanent change in DNA sequence. Determining the exact positions of DNA damage and ensuing mutations in the genome are important for identifying mechanisms of disease aetiology when characteristic mutations are prevalent and probably causative in a particular disease. However, this approach is challenging particularly when levels of DNA damage are low, for example, as a result of chronic exposure to environmental agents or certain endogenous processes, such as the generation of reactive oxygen species. Over the past few years, a comprehensive toolbox of genome-wide methods has been developed for the detection of DNA damage and rare mutations at single-nucleotide resolution in mammalian cells. Here, we review and compare these methods, describe their current applications and discuss future research questions that can now be addressed.
