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

In chromatin replication, faithful recycling of histones from parental DNA to replicated strands is essential for maintaining epigenetic information across generations. A previous experiment has revealed that disrupting interactions between the N-terminal tail of Mcm2, a subunit in DNA replication machinery, and a histone H3/H4 tetramer perturb the recycling. However, the molecular pathways and the factors that regulate the ratio recycled to each strand and the destination location are yet to be revealed. Here, we performed molecular dynamics simulations of yeast DNA replication machinery, an H3/H4 tetramer, and replicated DNA strands. The simulations demonstrated that histones are recycled via Cdc45-mediated and unmediated pathways without histone chaperones, as our in vitro biochemical assays supported. Also, RPA binding regulated the ratio recycled to each strand, whereas DNA bending by Pol ε modulated the destination location. Together, the simulations provided testable hypotheses, which are vital for elucidating the molecular mechanisms of histone recycling.
