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

We have analyzed the chromatin structure of mouse ribosomal RNA genes (rDNA) by partial digestion of genomic DNA with micrococcal nuclease (MNase), DNase I and identified hypersensitive sites by indirect end-labeling. This analysis has revealed defined regions of nuclease hypersensitivity in the intergenic spacer which in turn coincide with regulatory elements. Hypersensitive sites map to the transcription initiation site, the enhancer repeats, the spacer promoter and two sequence elements which coincide with amplification-promoting sequences. Analysis of the DNA curvature by computer modeling uncovered a striking correlation between sequence-directed structural features of regulatory regions and the position of nuclease hypersensitive sites. Moreover, we demonstrate that nucleosomes are specifically positioned upstream and downstream of the transcription start site. In vitro studies using chromatin assembled in the presence of Drosophila embryo extracts show that binding of the transcription termination factor TTF-I to the upstream terminator mediates this specific nucleosome positioning at the rDNA promoter in an ATP- dependent fashion.
