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

Positively charged N-terminal histone tails play important roles in maintaining the nucleosome (and chromatin) structure and function. Charge alteration, including those imposed by post-translational modifications, impacts chromatin dynamics, protein binding, and the fate of DNA damage. There is evidence that N-terminal histone tails affect the local ionic environment within a nucleosome core particle (NCP), but this phenomenon is not well understood. Determining the modulation of the local ionic environment within an NCP by histone tails could help uncover the underlying mechanisms of their functions and effects. Utilizing bottom-up syntheses of NCPs containing wild-type or mutated histones and a fluorescent probe that is sensitive to the local ionic environment, we show that interaction with positively charged N-terminal tails increases the local ionic strength near nucleosomal DNA. The effect is diminished by replacing positively charged residues with neutral ones or deleting a tail in its entirety. Replacing the fluorescent probe with the major DNA methylation product,
