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

TBLR1 is a subunit of the NCoR corepressor complex that is mutated in a range of neurodevelopmental disorders. Here, we report that TBLR1 functions as a molecular scaffold that physically connects ANKRD11 and SETD5 - two of the most frequently mutated proteins in neurodevelopmental disorders - and links them to the rest of the NCoR complex. The resulting assembly resembles the yeast SET3 complex (SET3C) - a transcriptional regulator. Pathogenic missense mutations in TBLR1, ANKRD11 and SETD5 disrupt this assembly, and an engineered mutation that specifically abolishes SETD5 incorporation into SET3C causes severe developmental impairments in mice. Disruptions of mammalian SET3C components cause highly correlated changes in gene expression - including upregulation of already highly transcribed genes. Together, our results reveal that failure of transcriptional regulation by SET3C is a convergent molecular basis for a family of neurodevelopmental disorders.
