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 nucleosome is a DNA-protein assembly that is the basic unit of chromatin. A nucleosome can adopt various structures. In the canonical nucleosome structure, 145-147 bp of DNA is wrapped around a histone heterooctamer. The strong histone-DNA interactions cause the DNA to be inaccessible for nuclear processes such as transcription. Therefore, the canonical nucleosome structure has to be altered into different, non-canonical structures to increase DNA accessibility. While it is recognised that non-canonical structures do exist, these structures are not well understood. In this review, we discuss both the evidence for various non-canonical nucleosome structures in the nucleus and the factors that are believed to induce these structures. The wide range of non-canonical structures is likely to regulate the amount of accessible DNA, and thus have important nuclear functions.
