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 bases are subject to alkylation, deamination, and oxidation, yielding mutagenic and cytotoxic lesions implicated in cancer and neurodegenerative disease. The damage is countered by DNA glycosylases, which hydrolyze the N-glycosyl bond to release the lesion and initiate base excision repair. One glycosylase family is represented by human thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG) and Escherichia coli mismatch-specific uracil DNA-glycosylase (MUG), which exhibits 32% sequence identity. TDG excises thymine/uracil from guanine mispairs, 5-formylcytosine, 5-carboxylcytosine, and 3,N
