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

Nucleosome remodelers and regulatory factors collaborate to establish chromatin environments that control gene expression through cis-regulatory elements (CREs) such as promoters and enhancers, which drive transcription of mRNAs and CRE-associated non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Two CRE-associated ncRNAs include upstream antisense RNAs (uaRNAs) and enhancer RNAs (eRNAs). The role of remodelers in regulating CRE activity remains incompletely understood. Here, we investigated how SNF2-family remodelers regulate mRNA, eRNA, and uaRNA transcription in murine embryonic stem cells. We identified thousands of misregulated transcripts upon remodeler depletion and defined contributions of understudied remodelers. We find that paired mRNAs and eRNAs are co-regulated, while mRNAs and uaRNAs sharing a promoter are independently regulated by remodelers. Mechanistic studies reveal that CHD8 and SRCAP modulate transcription through canonical transcription factor and histone variant mechanisms, while other remodelers, including SMARCAL1, impact transcription indirectly by maintaining genomic stability. Our findings define classes of SNF2 remodelers in regulating the CRE-associated transcriptome.
