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

Chromatin remodeling is essential to allow full development of alternative gene expression programs in response to environmental changes. In fission yeast, oxidative stress triggers massive transcriptional changes including the activation of hundreds of genes, with the participation of histone modifying complexes and chromatin remodelers. DNA transcription is associated to alterations in DNA topology, and DNA topoisomerases facilitate elongation along gene bodies. Here, we test whether the DNA topoisomerase Top1 participates in the RNA polymerase II-dependent activation of the cellular response to oxidative stress. Cells lacking Top1 are resistant to H2O2 stress. The transcriptome of Δtop1 strain was not greatly affected in the absence of stress, but activation of the anti-stress gene expression program was more sustained than in wild-type cells. Top1 associated to stress open reading frames. While the nucleosomes of stress genes are partially and transiently evicted during stress, the chromatin configuration remains open for longer times in cells lacking Top1, facilitating RNA polymerase II progression. We propose that, by removing DNA tension arising from transcription, Top1 facilitates nucleosome reassembly and works in synergy with the chromatin remodeler Hrp1 as opposing forces to transcription and to Snf22 / Hrp3 opening remodelers.
