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

Given our previous demonstration that RBPJ binds a methylated repressor element and regulates smooth muscle cell (SMC)-specific gene expression, we used genome-wide approaches to identify RBPJ binding regions in human aortic SMC and to assess RBPJ's effects on chromatin structure and gene expression. RBPJ bound to consensus cis elements, but also to TCmGGGA sequences within Alu repeats that were less transcriptionally active as assessed by DNAse hypersensitivity, H3K9 acetylation, and Notch3 and RNA Pol II binding. Interestingly, RBPJ binding was frequently detected at the borders of open chromatin, and a large fraction of genes induced or repressed by RBPJ depletion were associated with this cluster of RBPJ binding sites. RBPJ binding dramatically co-localized with serum response factor (SRF) and RNA seq experiments in RBPJ- and SRF-depleted SMC demonstrated that these factors interact functionally to regulate the contraction and inflammatory gene programs that help define SMC phenotype. Finally, we showed that RBPJ bound preferentially to phased nucleosomes independent of active chromatin marks and to cis elements positioned at the beginning and middle of the nucleosome dyad. These novel findings add important insight into RBPJ's role in chromatin structure and gene expression in SMC.
