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

Androgen receptor (AR) transcriptional activity is tightly regulated by interacting cofactors and cofactor complexes. The best described cofactor interaction site in the AR is the hormone-induced coactivator binding groove in the ligand-binding domain, which serves as a high-affinity docking site for FxxLF-like motifs. This study aimed at identifying novel AR cofactors by in silico selection and functional screening of FxxLF-like peptide motifs. Candidate interacting motifs were selected from a proteome-wide screening and from a supervised screening focusing on components of protein complexes involved in transcriptional regulation. Of the 104 peptides tested, 12 displayed moderate to strong in vivo hormone-dependent interactions with AR. For three of these, ZBTB16/PLZF, SMARCA4/BRG1, and SMARCD1/BAF60a, the full-length protein was tested for interaction with AR. Of these, BAF60a, a subunit of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, displayed hormone-dependent interactions with AR through its FxxFF motif. Vice versa, recruitment of BAF60a by the AR required an intact coactivator groove. BAF60a depletion by small interfering RNA in LNCaP cells demonstrated differential effects on expression of endogenous AR target genes. AR-driven expression of TMPRSS2 was almost completely blocked by BAF60a small interfering RNA. In summary, our data demonstrate that BAF60a directly interacts with the coactivator groove in the AR ligand-binding domain via its FxxFF motif, thereby selectively activating specific AR-driven promoters.
