Molecular models of bidirectional promoter regulation.
Review in Current opinion in structural biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Approximately 11% of human genes are transcribed by a bidirectional promoter (BDP), defined as two genes with <1 kb between their transcription start sites. Despite their evolutionary conservation and enrichment for housekeeping genes and oncogenes, the regulatory role of BDPs remains unclear. BDPs have been suggested to facilitate gene coregulation and/or decrease expression noise. This review discusses these potential regulatory functions through the context of six prospective underlying mechanistic models: a single nucleosome free region, shared transcription factor/regulator binding, cooperative negative supercoiling, bimodal histone marks, joint activation by enhancer(s), and RNA-mediated recruitment of regulators. These molecular mechanisms may act independently and/or cooperatively to facilitate the coregulation and/or decreased expression noise predicted of BDPs.
