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 centromere, a chromosomal locus that acts as a microtubule attachment site, is epigenetically specified by the enrichment of CENP-A nucleosomes. Centromere maintenance during the cell cycle requires HJURP-mediated CENP-A deposition, a process regulated by the Mis18 complex (Mis18α/Mis18β/Mis18BP1). Spatial and temporal regulation of Mis18 complex assembly is crucial for its centromere association and function. Here, we provide the molecular basis for the assembly and regulation of the Mis18 complex. We show that the N-terminal region of Mis18BP1 spanning amino acid residues 20-130 directly interacts with Mis18α/β to form the Mis18 complex. Within Mis18α/β, the Mis18α MeDiY domain can directly interact with Mis18BP1. Mis18α/β forms a hetero-hexamer with 4 Mis18α and 2 Mis18β. However, only two copies of Mis18BP1 interact with Mis18α/β to form a hetero-octameric assembly, highlighting the role of Mis18 oligomerization in limiting the number of Mis18BP1 within the Mis18 complex. Furthermore, we demonstrate the involvement of consensus Cdk1 phosphorylation sites on Mis18 complex assembly and thus provide a rationale for cell cycle-regulated timing of Mis18 assembly and CENP-A deposition.
