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 eukaryotic cells, genomic DNA is compacted by nucleosomes, as basic repeating units, into chromatin. The nucleosome arrangement in chromatin fibers could be an important determinant for chromatin folding, by which genomic DNA is regulated in the nucleus. To study the structures of chromatin units in cells, we have established a method for the structural analysis of native mono- and poly-nucleosomes prepared from HeLa cells. In this method, the chromatin in isolated nuclei was crosslinked to preserve the proximity information between nucleosomes, followed by chromatin fragmentation by micrococcal nuclease treatment. The mono- and poly-nucleosomes were then fractionated by sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation, and their structures were analyzed by cryo-electron microscopy. Cryo-electron microscopy single particle analysis and cryo-electron tomography visualized a native nucleosome structure and secondary nucleosome arrangements in cellular chromatin. This method provides a complementary strategy to fill the gap between in vitro and in situ analyses of chromatin structure.
