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

Topoisomerase I (TOP1) is an essential enzyme that relaxes DNA to prevent and dissipate torsional stress during transcription. However, the mechanisms underlying the regulation of TOP1 activity remain elusive. Using enhanced cross-linking and immunoprecipitation (eCLIP) and ultraviolet-cross-linked RNA immunoprecipitation followed by total RNA sequencing (UV-RIP-seq) in human colon cancer cells along with RNA electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs), biolayer interferometry (BLI), and in vitro RNA-binding assays, we identify TOP1 as an RNA-binding protein (RBP). We show that TOP1 directly binds RNA in vitro and in cells and that most RNAs bound by TOP1 are mRNAs. Using a TOP1 RNA-binding mutant and topoisomerase cleavage complex sequencing (TOP1cc-seq) to map TOP1 catalytic activity, we reveal that RNA opposes TOP1 activity as RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) commences transcription of active genes. We further demonstrate the inhibitory role of RNA in regulating TOP1 activity by employing DNA supercoiling assays and magnetic tweezers. These findings provide insight into the coordinated actions of RNA and TOP1 in regulating DNA topological stress intrinsic to RNAPII-dependent transcription.
