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

Linker histone H1 is an essential regulatory protein for many critical biological processes, such as eukaryotic chromatin packaging and gene expression. Mis-regulation of H1s is commonly observed in tumor cells, where the balance between different H1 subtypes has been shown to alter the cancer phenotype. Consisting of a rigid globular domain and two highly charged terminal domains, H1 can bind to multiple sites on a nucleosomal particle to alter chromatin hierarchical condensation levels. In particular, the disordered H1 amino- and carboxyl-terminal domains (NTD/CTD) are believed to enhance this binding affinity, but their detailed dynamics and functions remain unclear. In this work, we used a coarse-grained computational model, AWSEM-DNA, to simulate the H1.0b-nucleosome complex, namely chromatosome. Our results demonstrate that H1 disordered domains restrict the dynamics and conformation of both globular H1 and linker DNA arms, resulting in a more compact and rigid chromatosome particle. Furthermore, we identified regions of H1 disordered domains that are tightly tethered to DNA near the entry-exit site. Overall, our study elucidates at near-atomic resolution the way the disordered linker histone H1 modulates nucleosome's structural preferences and conformational dynamics.
