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 P-TEFb complex promotes transcription elongation by releasing paused RNA polymerase II. P-TEFb itself is known to be inactivated through binding to the non-coding RNA 7SK but there is only limited information about mechanisms regulating their association. Here, we show that cells deficient in the RNA-binding protein hnRNP R, a known 7SK interactor, exhibit increased transcription due to phosphorylation of RNA polymerase II. Intriguingly, loss of hnRNP R promotes the release of P-TEFb from 7SK, accompanied by enhanced hnRNP A1 binding to 7SK. Additionally, we found that hnRNP R interacts with BRD4, and that hnRNP R depletion increases BRD4 binding to the P-TEFb component CDK9. Finally, CDK9 is stabilized upon loss of hnRNP R and its association with Cyclin K is enhanced. Together, our results indicate that hnRNP R negatively regulates transcription by modulating the activity and stability of the P-TEFb complex, exemplifying the multimodal regulation of P-TEFb by an RNA-binding protein.
