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

backgroundOnly a handful of long noncoding RNAs have been functionally characterized. They are known to modulate regulation through interacting with other biomolecules in the cell: DNA, RNA and protein. Though there have been detailed investigations on lncRNA-miRNA and lncRNA-protein interactions, the interaction of lncRNAs with DNA have not been studied extensively. In the present study, we explore whether lncRNAs could modulate genomic regulation by interacting with DNA through the formation of highly stable DNA:DNA:RNA triplexes.

methodsWe computationally screened 23,898 lncRNA transcripts as annotated by GENCODE, across the human genome for potential triplex forming sequence stretches (PTS). The PTS frequencies were compared across 5'UTR, CDS, 3'UTR, introns, promoter and 1000 bases downstream of the transcription termination sites. These regions were annotated by mapping to experimental regulatory regions, classes of repeat regions and transcription factors. We validated few putative triplex mediated interactions where lncRNA-gene pair interaction is via pyrimidine triplex motif using biophysical methods.

resultsWe identified 20,04,034 PTS sites to be enriched in promoter and intronic regions across human genome. Additional analysis of the association of PTS with core promoter elements revealed a systematic paucity of PTS in all regulatory regions, except TF binding sites. A total of 25 transcription factors were found to be associated with PTS. Using an interaction network, we showed that a subset of the triplex forming lncRNAs, have a positive association with gene promoters. We also demonstrated an in vitro interaction of one lncRNA candidate with its predicted gene target promoter regions.

conclusionsOur analysis shows that PTS are enriched in gene promoter and largely associated with simple repeats. The current study suggests a major role of a subset of lncRNAs in mediating chromatin organization modulation through CTCF and NSRF proteins.
