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

The HP1 family proteins are involved in several aspects of chromatin function and regulation in Drosophila, mammals and the fission yeast. Here we investigate the localization of LHP1, the unique Arabidopsis thaliana HP1 homolog known at present time, to approach its function. A functional LHP1-GFP fusion protein, able to restore the wild-type phenotype in the lhp1 mutant, was used to analyze the subnuclear distribution of LHP1 in both A. thaliana and Nicotiana tabacum. In A. thaliana interphase nuclei, LHP1 was predominantly located outside the heterochromatic chromocenters. No major aberrations were observed in heterochromatin content or chromocenter organization in lhp1 plants. These data indicate that LHP1 is mainly involved in euchromatin organization in A. thaliana. In tobacco BY-2 cells, the LHP1 distribution, although in foci, slightly differed suggesting that LHP1 localization is determined by the underlying genome organization of plant species. Truncated LHP1 proteins expressed in vivo allowed us to determine the function of the different segments in the localization. The in foci distribution is dependent on the presence of the two chromo domains, whereas the hinge region has some nucleolus-targeting properties. Furthermore, like the animal HP1beta and HP1gamma subtypes, LHP1 dissociates from chromosomes during mitosis. In transgenic plants expressing the LHP1-GFP fusion protein, two major localization patterns were observed according to cell types suggesting that localization evolves with age or differentiation states. Our results show conversed characteristics of the A. thaliana HP1 homolog with the mammal HP1gamma isoform, besides specific plant properties.
