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

HMGB proteins are abundant, non-histone proteins in eukaryotic chromatin. HMGB proteins contain one or two conserved "HMG boxes" and can be sequence-specific or nonspecific in their DNA binding. HMGB proteins cause strong DNA bending and bind preferentially to deformed DNAs. We wish to understand how HMGB proteins increase the apparent flexibility of non-distorted B-form DNA. We test the hypothesis that HMGB proteins bind transiently, creating an ensemble of distorted DNAs with rapidly interconverting conformations. We show that binding of B-form DNA by HMGB proteins is both weak and transient under conditions where DNA cyclization is strongly enhanced. We also detect novel complexes in which HMGB proteins simultaneously bind more than one DNA duplex.
