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

We describe a cell-free chromatin assembly system derived from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which efficiently packages DNA into minichromosomes in a reaction dependent on exogenous core histones and an ATP-regenerating system. Both supercoiled and relaxed plasmid DNA serve as templates for nucleosomal loading in a gradual process that takes at least 6 h for completion at 30 degrees C. Micrococcal nuclease digestion of the assembled minichromosomes displays an extended nucleosomal ladder with a repeat length of 165 bp. The purified minichromosomes contain the four core histones in stoichiometric proportion and exhibit phased nucleosomes over the mouse mammary tumour virus (MMTV) promoter. The progesterone receptor and NF1 synergize on these minichromosomes resulting in efficient cell-free transcription. The ease of manipulation and the potential use of yeast strains carrying mutations in the chromatin handling machinery make this system suitable for detailed mechanistic studies.
