PRC2-EZH1 contributes to circadian gene expression by orchestrating chromatin states and RNA polymerase II complex stability.
Article in The EMBO journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Circadian rhythmicity of gene expression is a conserved feature of cell physiology. This involves fine-tuning between transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms and strongly depends on the metabolic state of the cell. Together these processes guarantee an adaptive plasticity of tissue-specific genetic programs. However, it is unclear how the epigenome and RNA Pol II rhythmicity are integrated. Here we show that the PcG protein EZH1 has a gateway bridging function in postmitotic skeletal muscle cells. On the one hand, the circadian clock master regulator BMAL1 directly controls oscillatory behavior and periodic assembly of core components of the PRC2-EZH1 complex. On the other hand, EZH1 is essential for circadian gene expression at alternate Zeitgeber times, through stabilization of RNA Polymerase II preinitiation complexes, thereby controlling nascent transcription. Collectively, our data show that PRC2-EZH1 regulates circadian transcription both negatively and positively by modulating chromatin states and basal transcription complex stability.
