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 folding of DNA on the nucleosome core particle governs many fundamental issues in eukaryotic molecular biology. In this study, an updated set of sequence-dependent empirical "energy" functions, derived from the structures of other protein-bound DNA molecules, is used to investigate the extent to which the architecture of nucleosomal DNA is dictated by its underlying sequence. The potentials are used to estimate the cost of deforming a collection of sequences known to bind or resist uptake in nucleosomes along various left-handed superhelical pathways and to deduce the features of sequence contributing to a particular structural form. The deformation scores reflect the choice of template, the deviations of structural parameters at each step of the nucleosome-bound DNA from their intrinsic values, and the sequence-dependent "deformability" of a given dimer. The correspondence between the computed scores and binding propensities points to a subtle interplay between DNA sequence and nucleosomal folding, e.g., sequences with periodically spaced pyrimidine-purine steps deform at low cost along a kinked template whereas sequences that resist deformation prefer a smoother spatial pathway. Successful prediction of the known settings of some of the best-resolved nucleosome-positioning sequences, however, requires a template with "kink-and-slide" steps like those found in high-resolution nucleosome structures.
