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 positions of nucleosomes along genomic DNA play a role in defining patterns of gene expression and chromatin organization. Determination of nucleosome positions in vivo and in vitro, as revealed by the locations of histones on DNA, has provided insight into mechanisms of nucleosome sliding, spacing, assembly, and disassembly. Here, we describe methods for the in vitro determination of histone-DNA contacts at base-pair (bp) resolution. The protocol involves the labeling of histones with ortho-phenanthroline (OP), site-specific cleavage of nucleosomal DNA, and processing and analysis of the resulting DNA fragments. This methodology provides an efficient and high-resolution means for studying kinetics and behavior of enzymes that alter nucleosome structure and/or positioning, and can be used to identify preferred distributions of nucleosomes on natural DNA sequences. © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
