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

Chromatin is a dynamic cellular structure basically constituted by nucleosomes, which consist of a DNA sequence wrapped around an octameric histones core. Histone synthesis and transport, nucleosome formation and proper chromatin assembly is an ordered and stepwise process guided by histone chaperones. Several families of histone chaperones have been identified and one of them is the nucleosome assembly protein (NAP) superfamily. Members of this family have been involved not only in chromatin constitution and regulation but also in several other cellular processes, such as nucleocytoplasmic shuttling, DNA replication, transcription and cell-cycle regulation. Testis specific protein Y-like 2 (TSPYL2) is a peculiar member of the NAP superfamily of histone chaperone. This protein has been initially isolated as a nuclear antigen in patients affected by discoid lupus erythematosus and as a TGF-β target. Its ability to bind histones has been demonstrated. In addition, TSPYL2 has been reported to regulate transcription, cell-cycle progression and the DNA-damage response, independently of its role in chromatin organization. In accordance with its multiple functions, defects in TSPYL2 have been associated with different diseases, mainly cancer and neurodevelopmental abnormalities. In this review we summarize and discuss the multiple cellular functions of TSPYL2, pointing out new and unexpected aspects like a sex-related activity and their relationship with different diseases.
