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

Most yeast genes have a nucleosome-depleted region (NDR) at the promoter and an array of regularly spaced nucleosomes phased relative to the transcription start site. We have examined the interplay between RSC (a conserved essential SWI/SNF-type complex that determines NDR size) and the ISW1, CHD1, and ISW2 nucleosome spacing enzymes in chromatin organization and transcription, using isogenic strains lacking all combinations of these enzymes. The contributions of these remodelers to chromatin organization are largely combinatorial, distinct, and nonredundant, supporting a model in which the +1 nucleosome is positioned by RSC and then used as a reference nucleosome by the spacing enzymes. Defective chromatin organization correlates with altered RNA polymerase II (Pol II) distribution. RSC-depleted cells exhibit low levels of elongating Pol II and high levels of terminating Pol II, consistent with defects in both termination and initiation, suggesting that RSC facilitates both. Cells lacking both ISW1 and CHD1 show the opposite Pol II distribution, suggesting elongation and termination defects. These cells have extremely disrupted chromatin, with high levels of closely packed dinucleosomes involving the second (+2) nucleosome. We propose that ISW1 and CHD1 facilitate Pol II elongation by separating closely packed nucleosomes.
