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

Phylogenetic analysis of histone H3 protein sequences demonstrates the independent origin of the replacement histone H3 genes in animals and in plants. Multiple introns in the replacement histone H3 genes of animals in a pattern distinct from that in plant replacement H3 genes supports this conclusion. It is suggested that replacement H3 genes arose at the same time that, independently, multicellular forms of animals and of plants evolved. Judged by the degree of invariant and functionally constrained amino acid positions, histones H3 and H4, which form together the tetramer kernel of the nucleosome, have co-evolved with equal rates of sequence divergence. Residues 31 and 87 in histone H3 are the only residues that consistently changed across each gene duplication event that created functional replacement histone H3 variant forms. Once changed, these residues have remained invariant across divergent speciation. This suggests that they are required to allow replacement histone H3 to participate in the assembly of nucleosomes in non-S-phase cells. The abundant occurrence of polypyrimidine sequences in the introns of all replacement H3 genes, and the replacement of an intron by a polypyrimidine motif upstream of the alfalfa replacement H3 gene, suggests a function. It is speculated that they may contribute to the characteristic cell-cycle-independent pattern of replacement histone H3 genes by binding nucleosome-excluding proteins.
