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 Balbiani ring 3 (BR3) gene contains 38 introns, and more than half of them are co-transcriptionally excised. We have determined the in situ structure of the active BR3 gene by electron tomography. Each of the 20-25 nascent transcripts on the gene is present together with splicing factors and the RNA polymerase II in a nascent transcript and splicing complex, here called the NTS complex. The results indicate that extensive changes in overall shape, substructure and molecular mass take place repeatedly within an NTS complex as it moves along the gene. The volume and calculated mass of the NTS complexes show that, maximally, one complete spliceosome is assembled on the multi-intron transcript at any given time point. The structural data show that the spliceosome is not a structurally well-defined unit in situ and that the C-terminal domain of the elongating RNA polymerase II cannot carry spliceosomal components for all introns in the BR3 transcript. Our data indicate that spliceosomal factors are continuously added to and released from the NTS complexes during transcription elongation.
