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

Transcriptional bursting has been linked to the stochastic positioning of nucleosomes. However, how bursting is regulated by the remodeling of promoter nucleosomes is unknown. Here, we use single-molecule live-cell imaging of GAL10 transcription in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to measure how bursting changes upon combined perturbations of chromatin remodelers, the transcription factor Gal4 and preinitiation complex components. Using dynamic epistasis analysis, we reveal how the remodeling of different nucleosomes regulates transcriptional bursting parameters. At the nucleosome covering the Gal4 binding sites, RSC and Gal4 binding synergistically facilitate each burst. Conversely, nucleosome remodeling at the TATA box controls only the first burst upon galactose induction. At canonical TATA boxes, the nucleosomes are displaced by TBP binding to allow for transcription activation even in the absence of remodelers. Overall, our results reveal how promoter nucleosome remodeling together with Gal4 and preinitiation complex binding regulates transcriptional bursting.
