Integrative characterization of MYC RNA-binding function.
Article in Cell genomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Emerging evidence suggests that MYC interacts with RNAs. Here, we performed an integrative characterization of MYC as an RNA-binding protein in six cell lines. We found that MYC binds to a myriad of RNAs with high affinity for guanosine-rich RNAs. Global and specific depletion of RNAs reduces MYC chromatin occupancy. Mechanistically, two highly conserved sequences, amino acids 355-357 KRR and 364-367 RQRR, within the basic region of MYC are necessary for its RNA binding. Notably, alanine substitution of KRR abolishes MYC's RNA-binding ability both in vitro and in vivo, without affecting its ability to bind E-box DNA as part of the MYC:MAX dimer in vitro. The loss of RNA-binding function decreases MYC chromatin binding in vivo and attenuates its ability to promote gene expression, cell-cycle progression, and proliferation. Our study lays a foundation for future investigation into the role of RNAs in MYC-mediated transcriptional activation and oncogenic functions.
