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

O-linked β-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc), a critical post-translational modification predominantly found in the nucleus, plays a substantial role in regulating gene expression by modulating transcription factors (TFs) activity. However, quantitative analysis investigating the influence of O-GlcNAcylation on protein-DNA interactions at a proteome scale remains undone. Herein, a pulldown screening approach using a consensus TF response element (catTFRE) was employed to unravel the impact of fluctuating levels of O-GlcNAcylation on the DNA binding efficiency of endogenous TFs/co-factors. Utilizing quantitative proteomics, we identified a substantial enhancement in the binding capacity of 241 nuclear proteins (NPs) to DNA sequences due to elevated levels of O-GlcNAcylation, whereas a decrease in DNA binding was observed for 2 NPs concurrently. Intriguingly, the O-GlcNAcylation elevation significantly enhanced the binding of 146 TFs/co-factors to specific DNA sequences. We further established that the O-GlcNAcylation of several Forkhead family TFs, including FOXA1 and FOXC1, notably enhances their binding to specific DNA sequences in living cells. Our research presents an efficacious approach to assessing the impact of O-GlcNAcylation on the interactions between proteins and DNA. This significantly enhances our understanding of the role O-GlcNAcylation plays in the regulation of transcription.
