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 large-scale chromatin organization of retrovirus and retroviral gene vector integration loci has attracted little attention so far. We compared the nuclear organization of transcribed integration loci with the corresponding loci on the homologous chromosomes. Loci containing gamma-retroviral gene transfer vectors in mouse hematopoietic precursor cells showed small but significant repositioning of the integration loci towards the nuclear interior. HIV integration loci in human cells showed a significant repositioning towards the nuclear interior in two out of five cases. Notably, repositioned HIV integration loci also showed chromatin decondensation. Transcriptional activation of HIV by sodium butyrate treatment did not lead to a further enhancement of the differences between integration and homologous loci. The positioning relative to splicing speckles was indistinguishable for integration and homologous control loci. Our data show that stable retroviral integration can lead to alterations of the nuclear chromatin organization, and has the potential to modulate chromatin structure of the host cell. We thus present an example where a few kb of exogenous DNA are sufficient to significantly alter the large-scale chromatin organization of an endogenous locus.
