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.
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
The chromatin structure of the pea plastocyanin gene (PetE) was examined at three different transcriptional states by investigating the acetylation states of histones H3 and H4 and the nuclease accessibility of the gene in pea roots, etiolated shoots, and green shoots. The acetylation states of histones associated with different regions of PetE were analyzed by chromatin immunoprecipitation with antibodies specific for acetylated or nonacetylated histone H3 or H4 tails, followed by polymerase chain reaction quantification. Comparison of pea tissues indicated that histone hyperacetylation was associated with increased PetE transcription in green shoots. Moreover, hyperacetylation of both histones H3 and H4 was targeted to the enhancer/promoter region in green shoots, suggesting that only specific nucleosomes along the gene were modified. Time-course digestions of nuclei with micrococcal nuclease and DNaseI indicated that the enhancer/promoter region was more resistant to digestion in the inactive gene in pea roots than was the same region in the active gene in shoots, whereas the transcribed region of PetE was digested similarly among the tissues. This finding indicates that transcription is accompanied by changes in the nuclease accessibility of the enhancer/promoter region only. Moreover, these results indicate that the changes in nuclease accessibility are organ specific, whereas histone hyperacetylation is light dependent, and they suggest that changes in nuclease accessibility precede histone hyperacetylation during PetE activation.
