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

Histone acetylation plays an important role in transcriptional activation. Histones are also modified by chemically diverse acylations that are frequently deposited by p300, a transcriptional coactivator that uses a number of different acyl-CoA cofactors. Here we report that while p300 is a robust acetylase, its activity gets weaker with increasing acyl-CoA chain length. Crystal structures of p300 in complex with propionyl-, crotonyl-, or butyryl-CoA show that the aliphatic portions of these cofactors are bound in the lysine substrate-binding tunnel in a conformation that is incompatible with substrate transfer. Lysine substrate binding is predicted to remodel the acyl-CoA ligands into a conformation compatible with acyl-chain transfer. This remodeling requires that the aliphatic portion of acyl-CoA be accommodated in a hydrophobic pocket in the enzymes active site. The size of the pocket and its aliphatic nature exclude long-chain and charged acyl-CoA variants, presumably explaining the cofactor preference for p300.
