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

Monoubiquitination of histone H2B-K120/123 plays several roles in regulating transcription, DNA replication and the DNA damage response. The structure of a nucleosome in complex with the dimeric RING E3 ligase Bre1 reveals that one RING domain binds to the nucleosome acidic patch, where it can position the E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme Rad6, while the other RING domain contacts the DNA. Comparisons with H2A-specific E3 ligases suggest a general mechanism of tuning histone specificity via the non-E2-binding RING domain.
