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

We describe a series of transcriptional activators generated by adding amino acids (eight in one case, six in another) to fragments of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae activator Gal4 that dimerize and bind DNA. One of the novel activating regions identified by this procedure is unusual, compared with previously characterized yeast activating regions, in the following ways: it works more strongly than does Gal4's natural activating region as assayed in yeast; it is devoid of acidic residues; and several lines of evidence suggest that it sees targets in the yeast transcriptional machinery at least partially distinct from those seen by Gal4's activating region.
