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 tumor suppressor BRCA1 is considered a master regulator of genome integrity. Although widely recognized for its DNA repair functions, BRCA1 has also been implicated in various mechanisms of chromatin remodeling and transcription regulation. However, the precise role that BRCA1 plays in these processes has been difficult to establish due to the widespread consequences of its cellular dysfunction. Here, we use nucleoplasmic extract derived from the eggs of Xenopus laevis to investigate the role of BRCA1 in a cell-free transcription system. We report that BRCA1-BARD1 suppresses transcription initiation independent of DNA damage signaling and its established role in histone H2A ubiquitination. BRCA1-BARD1 acts through a histone intermediate, altering acetylation of histone H4K8 and recruitment of the chromatin reader and oncogene regulator BRD4. Together, these results establish a functional relationship between an established (BRCA1) and emerging (BRD4) regulator of genome integrity.
