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

The carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RNAP II) functions at multiple stages of transcription and is involved in the coupling of transcription to pre-mRNA processing. We have used site-specific protein-DNA photocross-linking to determine the position of the CTD along promoter DNA in the transcriptional pre-initiation complex. Comparison of the promoter contacts made by RNAP II with or without the CTD indicate that the CTD approaches promoter DNA downstream of the transcriptional initiation site between positions +16 and +26. Incubation of pre-assembled initiation complexes with antibodies to the CTD prior to UV irradiation led to specific photocross-linking of the IgG heavy chain to nucleotide +17, indicating that the CTD is accessible for protein-protein interactions in a complex containing RNAP II and the general initiation factors. In conjunction with previously published observations, our structural data are fully compatible with the notion that DNA wrapping around RNAP II places the CTD and the RNA exit channel into juxtaposition and provide a rationale for contacts between the SRB-mediator complex and core RNAP II observed in the RNAP II holoenzyme.
