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

R-loops play critical roles in gene regulation and genome stability. To elucidate the protein-mediated mechanisms governing R-loop dynamics, we leveraged APEX-based proximity labeling to profile the R-loop proximal proteome. By integrating the proteomic data, bioinformatic predictions, and biochemical characterizations, we identified YY1 as an R-loop-binding protein. Localized R-loop induction at specific genomic loci via a CRISPR-dCas9/gRNA targeting system enhanced the local YY1 occupancy. Furthermore, integrated ChIP-seq and RNA-seq analyses revealed that promoter-associated YY1-R-loop interactions broadly regulate transcription. Together, our work identifies YY1 as a novel R-loop interaction protein and establishes a role for this interaction in modulating gene expression.
