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

Cis-syn dimers, (6-4) products and their Dewar valence isomers are the major photoproducts of DNA and have different mutagenic properties and rates of repair. To begin to understand the physical basis for these differences, the thermal stability and base pairing properties of the corresponding photoproducts of the TT site in d(GAGTATTATGAG) were investigated. The (6-4) and Dewar products destabilize the duplex form by approximately 6 kcal/mol of free energy at 37 degreesC relative to the parent, whereas a cis-syn dimer only destabilizes the duplex form by 1.5 kcal/mol. Duplexes with G opposite the 3'-T of the (6-4) and Dewar products are more stable than those with A by approximately 0.4 kcal/mol, whereas the cis-syn dimer prefers A over G by 0.7 kcal/mol. Proton NMR suggests that wobble base pairing takes place between the 3'-T of the cis-syn dimer and an opposed G, whereas there is no evidence of significant H-bonding between these two bases in the (6-4) product. The thermodynamic and H-bonding data for the (6-4) product are consistent with a 4 nt interior loop structure which may facilitate flipping of the photoproduct in and out of the helix.
