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

G-quadruplexes (G4s) are pivotal in transcriptional regulation. Although the interaction between G4s and G4-binding transcription factors (TFs) is critical for G4-dependent transcriptional regulation, the detailed mechanism, especially TF enrichment at G4s and its correlation with transcriptional regulation, remains unknown. In this study, using specificity protein 1 (SP1) as a representative G4-binding TF, we examined the mechanism of G4-dependent transcriptional regulation. Genomic analysis revealed substantial enrichment of SP1 in the oncogenic Bcl3 promoter harboring G4-forming sequences. We demonstrated that the formation of transcriptional condensates and the transcriptional activation of the Bcl3 promoter are heavily dependent on G4-dependent SP1 binding. Moreover, dissociation of SP1 condensates was prompted by RNA, which was enhanced by G4 formation within the RNA. Collectively, these results underscore the pivotal role of G4 in regulating gene expression through the modulation of SP1-mediated transcriptional condensation.
