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

A wide variety of endogenous and exogenous alkylating agents covalently modify DNA to produce N7-alkyl-2'-deoxyguanosine (N7-alkylG) adducts as major DNA lesions. The mutagenic potentials of many N7-alkylG adducts with an intercalatable moiety remain poorly understood. We have discovered that the antiriot agent 2-chloroacetophenone readily reacts with dG to produce N7-acetophenone-dG adducts, implicating the genotoxic properties of 2-chloroacetophenone. 2-Chloroacetophenone, however, has been found to be nonmutagenic in both bacterial and mammalian cells. To gain insights into the nonmutagenic nature of N7-acetophenone-dG, we prepared N7-acetophenone-dG-containing oligonucleotide via 2'-fluorine-mediated transition-state destabilization and conducted kinetic and structural studies of human DNA polymerase eta (polη) incorporating nucleotide opposite 2'-F-N7-acetophenone-dG. The kinetic experiments reveal that the presence of the lesion at the templating position greatly hinders nucleotide incorporation. A crystal structure of polη bound to a nonhydrolyzable dCTP analog opposite 2'-F-N7-acetophenone-dG shows that the templating N7-acetophenone-dG is in a
