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

Nuclear pore proteins (nucleoporins [Nups]) physically interact with hundreds of chromosomal sites, impacting transcription. In yeast, transcription factors mediate interactions between Nups and enhancers and promoters. To define the molecular basis of this mechanism, we exploited a separation-of-function mutation in the Gcn4 transcription factor that blocks its interaction with the nuclear pore complex (NPC). This mutation reduces the interaction of Gcn4 with the highly conserved nuclear export factor Crm1/Xpo1. Crm1 and Nups co-occupy enhancers, and Crm1 inhibition blocks interaction of the nuclear pore protein Nup2 with the genome. In vivo, Crm1 interacts stably with the NPC and in vitro, Crm1 binds directly to both Gcn4 and Nup2. Importantly, the interaction between Crm1 and Gcn4 requires neither Ran-guanosine triphosphate (GTP) nor the nuclear export sequence binding site. Finally, Crm1 and Ran-GTP stimulate DNA binding by Gcn4, suggesting that allosteric coupling between Crm1-Ran-GTP binding and DNA binding facilitates the docking of transcription-factor-bound enhancers at the NPC.
