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

Altering gene expression in response to stimuli is a pivotal mechanism through which organisms execute developmental programs and respond to changes in their environment. Packaging of promoter DNA into chromatin can greatly impact the ability of RNA polymerase II to access and transcribe a gene. Promoter chromatin environments thus play a central role in establishing transcriptional output appropriate for specific environmental conditions or developmental states. Recent genomic studies have illuminated general principles of chromatin organization and deepened our understanding of how promoter sequence and nucleosome architecture may impact gene expression. Concurrently, pausing of polymerase during early elongation has been recognized as an important event influencing transcription of genes within stimulus-responsive networks. Promoters regulated by pausing are now recognized to possess a distinct chromatin architecture that may facilitate the plasticity of gene expression in response to signaling events. Here we review advances in understanding chromatin and pausing, and explore how coupling Pol II pausing to distinct promoter architectures may help organisms achieve flexible yet precise transcriptional control. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Chromatin in time and space.
