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

Proper segregation of chromosomes during mitosis requires that the products of chromosome replication are paired together-termed sister chromatid cohesion. In budding yeast, Ctf7p/Eco1p is an essential protein that establishes cohesion between sister chromatids during S phase. In fission yeast, Eso1p also functions in cohesion establishment, but is comprised of a Ctf7p/Eco1p domain fused to a Rad30p domain (a DNA polymerase) both of which are independently expressed in budding yeast. In this report, we identify and characterize the first candidate human ortholog of Ctf7p/Eco1p, which we term hEFO1p (human Establishment Factor Ortholog). As in fission yeast Eso1p, the hEFO1p open reading frame extends well upstream of the C-terminal Ctf7p/Eco1p domain. However, this N-terminal extension in hEFO1p is unlike Rad30p, but instead exhibits significant homology to linker histone proteins. Thus, hEFO1p is a unique fusion of linker histone and cohesion establishment domains. hEFO1p is widely expressed among the tissues tested. Consistent with a role in chromosome segregation, hEFO1p localizes exclusively to the nucleus when expressed in HeLa tissue culture cells. Moreover, biochemical analyses reveal that hEFO1p exhibits acetyltransferase activity. These findings document the first characterization of a novel human acetyltransferase, hEFO1p, that is comprised of both linker histone and Ctf7p/Eco1p domains.
