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

Nucleosome positioning has been proposed as a mechanism of transcriptional repression. Here, we examined whether nucleosome positioning affects activator binding in living yeast cells. We introduced the cognate Hap1 binding site (UAS1) at a location 24-43 bp, 29-48 bp, or 61-80 bp interior to the edge of a nucleosome positioned by alpha2/Mcm1 in yeast minichromosomes. Hap1 binding to the UAS1 was severely inhibited, not only at the pseudo-dyad but also in the peripheral region of the positioned nucleosome in alpha cells, while it was detectable in a cells, in which the nucleosomes were not positioned. Hap1 binding was restored in alpha cells with tup1 or isw2 mutations, which caused the loss of nucleosome positioning. These results support the mechanism in which alpha2/Mcm1-dependent nucleosome positioning has a regulatory function to limit the access of transcription factors.
