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

Cooperativity in transcription factor (TF) binding is essential in eukaryotic gene regulation and arises through diverse mechanisms. Here, we focus on one mechanism, collaborative competition, which is of interest because it arises both automatically (with no requirement for TF coevolution) and spontaneously (with no requirement for ATP-dependent nucleosome remodeling factors). Previous experimental studies of collaborative competition analyzed cases in which target sites for pairs of cooperating TFs were contained within the same side of the nucleosome. Here, we utilize new assays to measure cooperativity in protein binding to pairs of nucleosomal DNA target sites. We focus on the cases that are of greatest in vivo relevance, in which one binding site is located close to the end of a nucleosome and the other binding site is located at diverse positions throughout the nucleosome. Our results reveal energetically significant positive (favorable) cooperativity for pairs of sites on the same side of the nucleosome but, for the cases examined, energetically insignificant cooperativity between sites on opposite sides of the nucleosome. These findings imply a special significance for TF binding sites that are spaced within one-half nucleosome length (74 bp) or less along the genome and may prove useful for prediction of cooperatively acting TFs genome wide.
