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

In the cell nucleus, the packaging of the DNA into chromatin represses transcription by restricting the access of transcriptional regulators to their binding sites and inhibiting the progression of RNA polymerases during transcript elongation. To efficiently transcribe genes in the context of chromatin, eukaryotes have a variety of transcript elongation factors promoting transcription in vivo. The facilitates chromatin transcription (FACT) complex consisting of the SSRP1 and SPT16 proteins, is a histone chaperone that assists transcription by destabilising nucleosomes in the path of RNA polymerases. In a recent study, we report that Arabidopsis FACT is critically involved in different aspects of development including leaf growth and the transition to flowering. Moreover, FACT was found to interact genetically with HUB1 that mono-ubiquitinates histone H2B. Depending on the underlying process that is regulated by the two complexes, there appear to be different levels of interaction.
