Mechanism of cohesin loading onto chromosomes: a conformational dynamics study.
Article in Biophysical journal, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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 structure-function relationship of cohesin, an essential chromosome maintenance protein, is investigated by analyzing its collective dynamics and conformational flexibility, enhancing our understanding of the sister chromatid cohesion process. A three-dimensional model of cohesin has been constructed by homology modeling using both crystallographic and electron microscopy image data. The harmonic dynamics of the cohesin structure are calculated with a coarse-grained elastic network model. The model shows that the bending motion of the cohesin ring is able to adopt a head-to-tail conformation, in agreement with experimental data. Low-frequency conformational changes are observed to deform the highly conserved glycine residues at the interface of the cohesin heterodimer. Normal mode analysis further reveals that, near large globular structures such as nucleosome and accessory proteins docked to cohesin, the mobility of the coiled-coil regions is notably affected. Moreover, fully solvated molecular dynamics calculations, performed specifically on the hinge region, indicate that hinge opening starts from one side of the dimerization interface, and is coordinated by highly conserved glycine residues.
