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

Transcription of the major histocompatibility complex class II family of genes is regulated by conserved promoter elements and two gene-specific trans-activators, RFX and CIITA. RFX binds DNA and nucleates the assembly of an enhanceosome, which recruits CIITA through protein--protein interactions. Transcriptional activation is a complex, multi-step process involving chromatin modification and recruitment of the transcription apparatus. To examine the roles of the enhanceosome and CIITA in these processes, we analysed the level of promoter-associated hyperacetylated histones H3 and H4, TBP, TFIIB and RNA poly merase II in cells lacking RFX or CIITA. We compared four genes co-regulated by RFX and CIITA (HLA-DRA, HLA-DPB, HLA-DMB and Ii) and found that the enhanceosome and CIITA make variable, promoter-dependent contributions to histone acetylation and transcription apparatus recruitment. CIITA is generally implicated at multiple levels of the activation process, while the enhanceosome contributes in a CIITA-independent manner only at certain promoters. Our results support the general notion that the impact of a particular activator on transcription in vivo may vary depending on the promoter and the chromatin context.
