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 tardigrade damage suppressor (Dsup) and vertebrate high mobility group N (HMGN) proteins bind specifically to nucleosomes via a conserved motif whose structure has not been experimentally determined. Here we used cryo-EM to show that both proteins bind to the nucleosome acidic patch via analogous arginine anchors with one molecule bound to each face of the nucleosome. We additionally employed the natural promoter-containing 5S rDNA sequence for structural analysis of the nucleosome. These structures of an ancient nucleosome-binding motif suggest that there is an untapped realm of proteins with a related mode of binding to chromatin.
