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

Constitutive heterochromatin is considered as a functionally inert genome compartment, important for its architecture and stability. How such stable structure is maintained is not well understood. Here, we apply four different visualization schemes to label it and investigate its dynamics during DNA replication and repair. We show that replisomes assemble over the heterochromatin in a temporally ordered manner. Furthermore, heterochromatin undergoes transient decompaction locally at the active sites of DNA synthesis. Using selective laser microirradiation conditions that lead to damage repaired via processive DNA synthesis, we measured similarly local decompaction of heterochromatin. In both cases, we could not observe large-scale movement of heterochromatin to the domain surface. Instead, the processive DNA synthesis machinery assembled at the replication/repair sites. Altogether, our data are compatible with a progression of DNA replication/repair along the chromatin in a dynamic mode with localized and transient decompaction that does not globally remodels the whole heterochromatin compartment.
