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

Nucleosomes represent hubs in chromatin organization and gene regulation and interact with a plethora of chromatin factors through different modes. In addition, alterations in histone proteins such as cancer mutations and post-translational modifications have profound effects on histone/nucleosome interactions. To elucidate the principles of histone interactions and the effects of those alterations, we developed histone interactomes for comprehensive mapping of histone-histone interactions (HHIs), histone-DNA interactions (HDIs), histone-partner interactions (HPIs) and DNA-partner interactions (DPIs) of 37 organisms, which contains a total of 3808 HPIs from 2544 binding proteins and 339 HHIs, 100 HDIs and 142 DPIs across 110 histone variants. With the developed networks, we explored histone interactions at different levels of granularities (protein-, domain- and residue-level) and performed systematic analysis on histone interactions at a large scale. Our analyses have characterized the preferred binding hotspots on both nucleosomal/linker DNA and histone octamer and unraveled diverse binding modes between nucleosome and different classes of binding partners. Last, to understand the impact of histone cancer-associated mutations on histone/nucleosome interactions, we complied one comprehensive cancer mutation dataset including 7940 cancer-associated histone mutations and further mapped those mutations onto 419,125 histone interactions at the residue level. Our quantitative analyses point to histone cancer-associated mutations' strongly disruptive effects on HHIs, HDIs and HPIs. We have further predicted 57 recurrent histone cancer mutations that have large effects on histone/nucleosome interactions and may have driver status in oncogenesis.
