Epigenetic regulation of REX1 expression and chromatin binding specificity by HMGNs.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
HMGN proteins localize to chromatin regulatory sites and modulate the cell-type specific transcription profile; however, the molecular mechanism whereby these ubiquitous nucleosome binding proteins affect gene expression is not fully understood. Here, we show that HMGNs regulate the expression of Rex1, one of the most highly transcribed genes in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs), by recruiting the transcription factors NANOG, OCT4 and SOX2 to an ESC-specific super enhancer located in the 5' region of Rex1. HMGNs facilitate the establishment of an epigenetic landscape characteristic of active chromatin and enhancer promoter interactions, as seen by chromatin conformation capture. Loss of HMGNs alters the local epigenetic profile, increases histone H1 occupancy, decreases transcription factors binding and reduces enhancer promoter interactions, thereby downregulating, but not abolishing Rex1 expression. ChIP-seq analyses show high colocalization of HMGNs and of REX1, a zinc finger protein, at promoters and enhancers. Loss of HMGNs preferentially reduces the specific binding of REX1 to these chromatin regulatory sites. Thus, HMGNs affects both the expression and the chromatin binding specificity of REX1. We suggest that HMGNs affect cell-type specific gene expression by modulating the binding specificity of transcription factors to chromatin.
