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

UAF, a yeast RNA polymerase I transcription factor, contains Rrn5p, Rrn9p, Rrn10p, histones H3 and H4, and uncharacterized protein p30. Mutants defective in RRN5, RRN9 or RRN10 are unable to transcribe rDNA by polymerase I and grow extremely slowly, but give rise to variants able to grow by transcribing chromosomal rDNA by polymerase II. Thus, UAF functions as both an activator of polymerase I and a silencer of polymerase II for rDNA transcription. We have now identified the gene for subunit p30. This gene, UAF30, is not essential for growth, but its deletion decreases the cellular growth rate. Remarkably, the deletion mutants use both polymerase I and II for rDNA transcription, indicating that the silencer function of UAF is impaired, even though rDNA transcription by polymerase I is still occurring. A UAF complex isolated from the uaf30 deletion mutant was found to retain the in vitro polymerase I activator function to a large extent. Thus, Uaf30p plays only a minor role in its activator function. Possible reasons for slow growth caused by uaf30 mutations are discussed.
