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

Cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has recently emerged as an optimal technique for the determination of histone methyltransferase-nucleosome complex structures. Histone methyltransferases are a group of enzymes that posttranslationally methylate histone lysine and arginine residues on the nucleosome, providing important epigenetic signals that regulate gene expression. Here we describe a protocol to solve the structure of histone lysine methyltransferase Dot1L bound to a chemically ubiquitylated nucleosome, including complex reconstitution, crosslinking, grid preparation, and data collection and analysis. Throughout, we discuss key steps requiring optimization to allow this protocol to serve as a starting point for the determination of new histone methyltransferase-nucleosome complex structures.
