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 genomes of Archaea harbor homologs of the global bacterial regulator leucine-responsive regulatory protein (Lrp). Archaeal Lrp homologs are helix-turn-helix DNA-binding proteins that specifically repress the transcription of their own genes in vitro. Here, we analyze the interaction of Pyrococcus LrpA with components of the archaeal transcriptional machinery at the lrpA promoter. DNA-protein complexes can be isolated by electrophoretic mobility shift assays that contain both LrpA and the two archaeal transcription factors TBP and TFB. Phenanthroline-copper footprinting experiments showed that the DNA-binding sites of LrpA and TBP/TFB do not overlap. These results and the finding that association of RNA polymerase with the TBP-TFB promoter complex was inhibited in the presence of LrpA indicate that Pyrococcus LrpA interferes with RNA polymerase recruitment. A DNA motif required for the LrpA-DNA interaction was inferred from dimethylsulfate methylation interference experiments.
