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

Structural studies of nucleosomes most commonly involve histones from Xenopus species or humans. Yet, the effect of subtle differences in the amino acid sequences of these histones on key aspects of structure, such as nucleosome assembly, DNA positioning, and transcription factor binding remains unclear. Here, we show that histones from both species can efficiently assemble on the human LIN28B DNA sequence. Using cryogenic electron microscopy we demonstrate that the pioneer transcription factor OCT4 engages with LIN28B nucleosomes assembled with human histones in the same manner as observed in our previous work in which the nucleosomes were assembled with Xenopus histones.
