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

P201 is a short (eight-residue) nonacidic peptide that comprises a strong transcriptional activating region when tethered to DNA in yeast. Here we identify the mediator protein Gal11 as an essential target of P201. Deletion of Gal11, which modestly decreases activation elicited by the typical acidic yeast activator, abolishes activation by DNA-tethered P201. A point mutation in Gal11, which has no effect on other Gal11 functions, also greatly diminishes activation by DNA-tethered P201. P201 binds to a fragment of Gal11 in vivo and in vitro, and the interaction is diminished by mutations in either component that decrease activation in vivo. P201, unlike the typical yeast acidic activating region, does not work in mammalian cells, which is consistent with the notion that the unique target of P201 (Gal11) is absent from mammalian cells.
