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 Rpd3S histone deacetylase complex has a crucial role in genomic integrity by deacetylating transcribed nucleosomes following RNA polymerase (Pol) II passage. Cryo-EM studies highlight the importance of asymmetrical Rco1-Eaf3 dimers in nucleosome binding, yet the interaction dynamics with nucleosomal substrates alongside elongating Pol II are poorly understood. Here we demonstrate the essential function of the Rco1 N-terminal intrinsically disordered region (IDR) in modulating Pol II association, in which K/R mutations within the Rco1 IDR impair interaction of Rpd3S with the C-terminal domain (CTD) of Rpb1, without affecting nucleosome recognition or complex integrity. We also identify the Rco1-PHD1 and Eaf3-CHD domains as crucial for specific binding to Ser5-phosphorylated CTD. The Rco1 IDR alleviates autoinhibition from its C terminus, facilitating PHD1-CHD engagement with phosphorylated CTD. Furthermore, we reveal a conserved mechanism by which asymmetrical Rco1-Eaf3 dimers coordinate nucleosome engagement and Pol II interaction, enhancing understanding of epigenetic complexes associated with transcriptional machinery.
