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

Nucleosomes are the repeating unit of chromatin. They act as recognition platforms for chromatin-binding factors that coordinate genome maintenance. The chromatin remodeler Amplified in Liver Cancer 1 (ALC1) is a key component of the DNA-damage response and a promising therapeutic target in cancer. Through extensive classification of our previously deposited cryo-electron microscopy dataset, we identified a previously unresolved ALC1-nucleosome complex characterized by a more open conformation of ALC1. This is the first structure of ALC1 in which all domains are visualized in the context of a nucleosome complex, including the regulatory macro domain and a single α-helix motif within the linker. This newly identified conformation may represent an intermediate between the auto-inhibited and active states, and provides new structural insights into the conformational transitions that regulate the activity of ALC1.
