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

AF4/FMR2 family member 4 (AFF4) is the scaffold protein of the multisubunit super-elongation complex, which plays key roles in the release of RNA polymerase II from promoter-proximal pausing and in the transactivation of HIV-1 transcription. AFF4 consists of an intrinsically disordered N-terminal region that interacts with other super-elongation complex subunits and a C-terminal homology domain (CHD) that is conserved among AF4/FMR2 family proteins, including AFF1, AFF2, AFF3, and AFF4. Here, we solved the X-ray crystal structure of the CHD in human AFF4 (AFF4-CHD) to 2.2 Å resolution and characterized its biochemical properties. The structure disclosed that AFF4-CHD folds into a novel domain that consists of eight helices and is distantly related to tetratrico peptide repeat motifs. Our analyses further revealed that AFF4-CHD mediates the formation of an AFF4 homodimer or an AFF1-AFF4 heterodimer. Results from fluorescence anisotropy experiments suggested that AFF4-CHD interacts with both RNA and DNA
