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

The BAF complex (SWI/SNF) is an ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler that adapts the structural organization of the chromatin. Despite a growing understanding of the composition of BAF in different cell types, the interaction network within the BAF complex is poorly understood. Here, we characterized an isoform of the BRG1/SMARCA4 ATPase expressed in human neural progenitor cells. By electron microscopy and image processing, the neural BRG1/SMARCA4 shows an elongated globular structure, which provides a considerably larger surface than anticipated. We show that neural BRG1/SMARCA4 binds to BAF57/SMARCE1 and BAF60A/SMARCD1, two further components of BAF. Moreover, we demonstrate an interaction between the neural BRG1/SMARCA4 isoform and the central neurodevelopmental transcriptional repressor REST/NRSF. Our results provide insights into the assembly of a central transcriptional repressor complex, link the structure of the neural BRG1/SMARCA4 to its role as a protein-protein interaction platform and suggest BRG1/SMARCA4 as a key determinant that directs the BAF complex to specific DNA sites by interacting with transcription factors and regulators.
