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

Knowledge of the structural properties of linker histones is important to the understanding of their role in higher-order chromatin structure and gene regulation. Here we study the conformational properties of the peptide Ac-EKTPVKKKARKAAGGAKRKTSG-NH(2) (NE-1) by circular dichroism and (1)H-NMR. This peptide corresponds to the positively charged region of the N-terminal domain, adjacent to the globular domain, of mouse histone H1e (residues 15-36). This is the most abundant H1 subtype in many kinds of mammalian somatic cells. NE-1 is mainly unstructured in aqueous solution, but in the presence of the secondary-structure stabilizer trifluoroethanol (TFE) it acquires an alpha-helical structure. In 90% TFE solution the alpha-helical population is approximately 40%. In these conditions, NE-1 is structured in two alpha-helices that comprise almost all the peptide, namely, from Thr17 to Ala27 and from Gly29 to Thr34. Both helical regions are highly amphipathic, with the basic residues on one face of the helix and the apolar ones on the other. The two helical elements are separated by a Gly-Gly motif. Gly-Gly motifs at equivalent positions are found in many vertebrate H1 subtypes. Structure calculations show that the Gly-Gly motif behaves as a flexible linker between the helical regions. The wide range of relative orientations of the helical axes allowed by the Gly-Gly motif may facilitate the tracking of the phosphate backbone by the helical elements or the simultaneous binding of two nonconsecutive DNA segments in chromatin.
