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

SWI/SNF chromatin remodelers modify the position and spacing of nucleosomes and, in humans, are linked to cancer. To provide insights into the assembly and regulation of this protein family, we focused on a subcomplex of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae RSC comprising its ATPase (Sth1), the essential actin-related proteins (ARPs) Arp7 and Arp9 and the ARP-binding protein Rtt102. Cryo-EM and biochemical analyses of this subcomplex shows that ARP binding induces a helical conformation in the helicase-SANT-associated (HSA) domain of Sth1. Surprisingly, the ARP module is rotated 120° relative to the full RSC about a pivot point previously identified as a regulatory hub in Sth1, suggesting that large conformational changes are part of Sth1 regulation and RSC assembly. We also show that a conserved interaction between Sth1 and the nucleosome acidic patch enhances remodeling. As some cancer-associated mutations dysregulate rather than inactivate SWI/SNF remodelers, our insights into RSC complex regulation advance a mechanistic understanding of chromatin remodeling in disease states.
