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

The THAP11 and ZNF143 transcription factors recognize overlapping DNA sequences and are reported to exhibit signs of both competitive and cooperative binding. HCFC1 serves as a scaffold protein, bridging interactions between transcription factors, including THAP11 and ZNF143, and transcriptional coregulators. The exact mechanism of how DNA sequences guide the recruitment of the THAP11/ZNF143/HCFC1 complex to chromatin is still controversial. In this study, we use chromosomally integrated synthetic constructs and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-Cas9-mediated approaches in intact cells to elucidate the role of the DNA sequence in the recruitment of this complex and to establish its biological relevance. We show that the ACTACA submotif, shared by both THAP11 and ZNF143, directs the recruitment of THAP11 and HCFC1 to ZNF143-occupied loci. Importantly, its position, spacing, and orientation relative to the ZNF143 core motif are critical for this action. CRISPR-Cas9-mediated alterations of the ACTACA submotif at endogenous promoters recapitulated results obtained with synthetic constructs and resulted in altered gene transcription and histone modifications at targeted promoters. Our in vivo approaches provide strong evidence for the molecular role of the ACTACA submotif in THAP11, ZNF143, and HCFC1 cooperative recruitment to chromatin and its biological role in target gene expression.
