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

Histones serve as protein spools for winding the DNA in the nucleosome. High variability of their post-translational modifications result in a unique code system often responsible for the pathomechanisms of epigenetics-based diseases. Decoding is performed by reader proteins via complex formation with the N-terminal peptide tails of histones. Determination of structures of histone-reader complexes would be a key to unravel the histone code and the design of new drugs. However, the large number of possible histone complex variations imposes a true challenge for experimental structure determination techniques. Calculation of such complexes is difficult due to considerable size and flexibility of peptides and the shallow binding surfaces of the readers. Moreover, location of the binding sites is often unknown, which requires a blind docking search over the entire surface of the target protein. To accelerate the work in this field, a new approach is presented for prediction of the structure of histone H3 peptide tails docked to their targets. Using a fragmenting protocol and a systematic blind docking method, a collection of well-positioned fragments of the H3 peptide is produced. After linking the fragments, reconstitution of anchoring regions of the target-bound H3 peptide conformations was possible. As a first attempt of combination of blind and fragment docking approaches, our new method is named fragment blind docking (FBD).
