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

Enhancers are cis- regulatory genetic elements crucial for controlling temporal and cell-type specific patterns of gene expression. Active enhancers generate bi-directional non-coding RNA transcripts called enhancer RNAs (eRNAs). eRNAs are important for stimulating gene expression, but precise mechanisms for this ability remain unclear. Here we highlight recent findings that demonstrate a direct interaction between RNAs and the transcriptional co-activator Creb-binding protein (CBP). Notably, RNA binding could stimulate the core histone acetyltransferase activity of the enzyme, observable in cells as a link between eRNA production, CBP-dependent histone acetylation and expression of genes regulated by specific enhancers. Although RNA binding was independent of RNA sequence, specificity arises in a locus-specific manner at transcribed sites where CBP was bound to chromatin. The results suggest a functional role for eRNAs as regulatory molecules that are able to stimulate the activity of a key epigenetic regulatory enzyme, thereby promoting gene expression. Furthermore, they suggest an intriguing role for eRNAs: by modulating the activity of chromatin modifying enzymes, they could directly impact transcription by altering the chromatin environment.
