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

Using small-angle x-ray scattering, we probe the effect of histone tails on both internucleosomal interactions and nucleosome conformation. To get insight into the specific role of H3 and H4 histone tails, perfectly monodisperse recombinant nucleosome core particles were reconstituted, either intact or deprived of both H3 and H4 histone tails (gH3gH4). The main result is that H3 and H4 histone tails are necessary to induce attractive interactions between NCPs. A pair potential model was used to describe interactions between NCPs. At all salt concentrations, interactions between gH3gH4 NCPs are best described by repulsive interactions exclusively. For intact NCPs, an additional attractive term, with a 5-10 kT magnitude and 20 A range, is required to account for interparticle interactions above 50 mM monovalent salt. Regarding conformation, intact NCPs in solution are similar to NCPs in 3D crystals. gH3gH4 NCPs instead give rise to slightly different small-angle x-ray scattering curves that can be understood as a more opened conformation of the particle, where DNA ends are slightly detached from the core.
