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

DNA binding proteins carry out important and diverse functions in the cell, including gene regulation, but identifying these proteins is technically challenging. In the present study, we developed a technique to capture DNA-associated proteins called reverse chromatin immunoprecipitation (R-ChIP). This technology uses a set of specific DNA probes labeled with biotin to isolate chromatin, and the DNA-associated proteins are then identified using mass spectrometry. Using R-ChIP, we identified 439 proteins that potentially bind to the promoter of the Arabidopsis thaliana gene AtCAT3 (AT1G20620). According to functional annotation, we randomly selected 5 transcription factors from these candidates, including bZIP1664, TEM1, bHLH106, BTF3, and HAT1, to verify whether they in fact bind to the AtCAT3 promoter. The binding of these 5 transcription factors was confirmed using chromatin immunoprecipitation quantitative real-time PCR and electrophoretic mobility shift assays. In addition, we improved the R-ChIP method using plants in which the DNA of interest had been transiently introduced, which does not require the T-DNA integration, and showed that this substantially improved the protein capture efficiency. These results together demonstrate that R-ChIP has a wide application to characterize chromatin composition and isolate upstream regulators of a specific gene.
