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

backgroundMammalian cells have three types of RNA polymerases (Pols), Pol I, II, and III. However, the extent to which these polymerases are cross-regulated and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

resultsWe employ genome-wide profiling after acute depletion of Pol I, Pol II, or Pol III to assess cross-regulatory effects between these Pols. We find that these enzymes mainly affect the transcription of their own target genes, while certain genes are transcribed by the other polymerases. Importantly, the most active type of crosstalk is exemplified by the fact that Pol III depletion affects Pol II transcription. Pol II genes with transcription changes upon Pol III depletion are enriched in diverse cellular functions, and Pol III binding sites are found near their promoters. However, these Pol III binding sites do not correspond to transfer RNAs. Moreover, we demonstrate that Pol III regulates Pol II transcription and chromatin binding of the facilitates chromatin transcription (FACT) complex to alter local chromatin structures, which in turn affects the Pol II transcription rate.

conclusionsOur results support a model suggesting that RNA polymerases show cross-regulatory effects: Pol III affects local chromatin structures and the FACT-Pol II axis to regulate the Pol II transcription rate at certain gene loci. This study provides a new perspective for understanding the dysregulation of Pol III in various tissues affected by developmental diseases.
