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

backgroundTransposable Elements (TEs) represent a sizeable amount of mammalian genomes, providing regulatory sequences involved in shaping gene expression patterns. NF-Y is a Transcription factor -TF- trimer that binds to the CCAAT box, belonging to a selected group implicated in determining initiation of coding and noncoding RNAs.

resultsWe focus on NF-Y TE locations in 8 human and 8 mouse cells. Binding is exclusive for retroviral LTR12, MLT1 and MER in human and RLTR10 and IAPLTR in mouse cells. Cobinding and analysis of the DNA matrices signal enrichment of distinct TFs neighboring CCAAT in the three TE classes: MAFK/F/G in LTR12 and USF1/2 in MLT1 with precise alignment of sites, PKNOX1, MEIS2, PBX2/3 TALE TFs in MER57. The presence of "epigenetic" marks in human cells indicate prevalent co-association with open chromatin in MER, closed in LTR12 and mixed in MLT1. Based on chromatin features, these locations are mostly marked as enhancers, as confirmed by analysis of loci predicted to generate eRNAs.

conclusionsThese results are discussed in the context of functional data, suggesting a complex -positive and potentially-negative role of NF-Y on distinct classes of repetitive sequences.
