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 fundamental unit of chromatin in which about 150 base pairs of DNA are wrapped around a histone octamer. The overlapping di-nucleosome has been proposed as a product of chromatin remodeling around the transcription start site, and previously found as a chromatin unit, in which about 250 base pairs of DNA continuously bind to the histone core composed of a hexamer and an octamer. In the present study, our genome-wide analysis of human cells suggests another higher nucleosome stacking structure, the overlapping tri-nucleosome, which wraps about 300-350 base-pairs of DNA in the region downstream of certain transcription start sites of actively transcribed genes. We determine the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the overlapping tri-nucleosome, in which three subnucleosome moieties, hexasome, hexasome, and octasome, are associated by short connecting DNA segments. Small angle X-ray scattering and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation analyses reveal that the cryo-EM structure of the overlapping tri-nucleosome may reflect its structure in solution. Our findings suggest that nucleosome stacking structures composed of hexasome and octasome moieties may be formed by nucleosome remodeling factors around transcription start sites for gene regulation.
