Non-coding RNA LEVER sequestration of PRC2 can mediate long range gene regulation.
Article in Communications biology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) is an epigenetic regulator required for gene silencing during development. Although PRC2 is a well-established RNA-binding complex, the biological function of PRC2-RNA interaction has been controversial. Here, we study the gene-regulatory role of the inhibitory PRC2-RNA interactions. We report a nuclear long non-coding RNA, LEVER, which mapped 236 kb upstream of the β-globin cluster as confirmed by Nanopore sequencing. LEVER RNA interacts with PRC2 in its nascent form, and this prevents the accumulation of the H3K27 repressive histone marks within LEVER locus. Interestingly, the accessible LEVER chromatin, in turn, suppresses the chromatin interactions between the ε-globin locus and β-globin locus control region (LCR), resulting in a repressive effect on ε-globin gene expression. Our findings validate that the nascent RNA-PRC2 interaction inhibits local PRC2 function in situ. More importantly, we demonstrate that such a local process can in turn regulate the expression of neighboring genes.
