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

Ni(II) compounds are well known as human carcinogens, though the molecular events which are responsible for this are not yet fully understood. It has been proposed that the binding of N(II) ions within the cell nucleus is a crucial element in the mechanism of carcinogenesis. The most abundant proteins in the cell nucleus are histones, and this makes them the prime candidates for this role. This article is a review of our recent studies of histone H4 models of Ni(II) binding. We analyzed the sequence of the N-terminal tail of the histone H4, Ac-SGRGKGGKGLGKGGAKRH(18)RKVL-Am, for Ni(II) binding. This site has been proposed mainly because of the potent inhibitory effect of Ni(II) on the acetylation of lysine residues near the histidine H(18), and also because of the accessibility of the H4 tail in the histone octamer. Combined potentiometric and spectroscopic studies showed that the histidine 18 acted as an anchoring binding site for metal ions in the peptide investigated. Comparison with the results for Cu(II) binding are also reported. The results allowed us to propose that the binding of Ni(II) is able to promote a secondary structure with organized side-chain orientation on the N-terminal tail of histone H4.
