Determinants of chromatin disruption and transcriptional regulation instigated by the thyroid hormone receptor: hormone-regulated chromatin disruption is not sufficient for transcriptional activation.

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
Chromatin disruption and transcriptional activation are both thyroid hormone-dependent processes regulated by the heterodimer of thyroid hormone receptor and 9-cis retinoic acid receptor (TR-RXR). In the absence of hormone, TR-RXR binds to nucleosomal DNA, locally disrupts histone-DNA contacts and generates a DNase I-hypersensitive site. Chromatin-bound unliganded TR-RXR silences transcription of the Xenopus TRbetaA gene within a canonical nucleosomal array. On addition of hormone, the receptor directs the extensive further disruption of chromatin structure over several hundred base pairs of DNA and activates transcription. We define a domain of the TR protein necessary for directing this extensive hormone-dependent chromatin disruption. Particular TR-RXR heterodimers containing mutations in this domain are able to bind both hormone and their thyroid hormone receptor recognition element (TRE) within chromatin, yet are unable to direct the extensive hormone-dependent disruption of chromatin or to activate transcription. We distinguish the hormone-dependent disruption of chromatin and transcriptional activation as independently regulated events through the mutagenesis of basal promoter elements and by altering the position and number of TREs within the TRbetaA promoter. Chromatin disruption alone on a minichromosome is shown to be insufficient for transcriptional activation of the TRbetaA gene.
