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

Mot1 stably associates with the TATA-binding protein (TBP), and it can dissociate TBP from DNA in an ATP-dependent manner. Mot1 acts as a negative regulator of TBP function in vitro, but genome-wide transcriptional profiling suggests that Mot1 positively affects about 10% of yeast genes and negatively affects about 5%. Unexpectedly, Mot1 associates with active RNA polymerase (Pol) II and III promoters, and it is rapidly recruited in response to activator proteins. At Pol II promoters, Mot1 association requires TBP and is strongly correlated with the level of TBP occupancy. However, the Mot1/TBP occupancy ratio at both Mot1-stimulated and Mot1-inhibited promoters is high relative to that at typical promoters, strongly suggesting that Mot1 directly affects transcriptional activity in a positive or negative manner, depending on the gene. The effect of Mot1 at the HIS3 promoter region depends on the functional quality and DNA sequence of the TATA element. Unlike TBP, Mot1 association is largely independent of the Srb4 component of Pol II holoenzyme, and it also can occur downstream of the promoter region. Mot1 removes TBP, but not TBP complexes or preinitiation complexes, from inappropriate genomic locations. Mot1 inhibits the association of NC2 with promoters, suggesting that the TBP-Mot1 and TBP-NC2 complexes compete for promoter occupancy in vivo. We speculate that Mot1 does not form transcriptionally active TBP complexes but rather regulates transcription in vivo by modulating the activity of free TBP and/or by affecting promoter DNA structure.
