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

To generate long arrays of nucleosomes within a topologically defined chromatin domain we have assembled minichromosomes on negatively supercoiled plasmid DNA with extracts from Drosophila preblastoderm embryos. These minichromosomes are dynamic substrates for energy-dependent nucleosome remodeling machines that facilitate the binding of various transcription factors but do not exhibit nucleosome positioning. In contrast, if such minichromosomes include the mouse mammary tumour virus (MMTV) promoter we find it wrapped around a nucleosome with similar translational and rotational position as in vivo . This structure precluded binding of NF1 to its cognate site at -75/-65 at salt concentrations between 60 and 120 mM, even in the presence of ATP, which rendered the NF1 site accessible to the restriction enzyme Hin fI. However, insertion of 30 bp just upstream of the NF1 site, which moves the site to the linker DNA, allowed ATP-dependent binding of NF1 to a fraction of the minichromosomes, even in the presence ofstoichiometric amounts of histone H1. The minichromosomes assembled in the Drosophila embryo extract reproduce important features of the native MMTV promoter chromatin and reveal differences in the ability of transcription factors and restriction enzymes to access their binding sites in positioned nucleosomes.
