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

We have examined the mutagenic properties of the T-T pyrimidine (6-4) pyrimidinone UV photoproduct in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, transforming the yeast cells either with single-stranded vectors that carried this adduct at a unique site or with gapped duplex vectors in which the adduct was located within a 28 nt single-stranded region. In an earlier study with SOS-induced Escherichia coli, we found that this photoproduct is highly mutagenic, specifically generating 3' T-->C substitutions in >85% of replicated molecules, and ascribed this specificity to the formation of a stable guanine-pyrimidinone mispair via hydrogen bonds at N-3 and O-2. In contrast, this adduct is very much less mutagenic in yeast, with 60-70% of molecules being replicated accurately and only 12-20% of them exhibiting 3' T-->C substitutions. The enhanced accuracy may reflect the ability of a yeast DNA polymerase, but not E.coli DNA polymerase III, to trap the adduct in a configuration favorable for the formation of an adenine-pyrimidinone base pair.
