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

According to the recruitment model, transcriptional activators work by increasing the local concentration of one or several limiting factors for the transcription process at the target promoter. The TATA-binding protein Tbp1 has been considered as a likely candidate for such a limiting factor. We have used a series of Gal4p and Tbp1 mutants to correlate the in vivo interaction between the two proteins with the strength of activation. We find a clear correlation between activation strength and in vivo interaction for the series of Gal4p mutants. Consistently, the weaker activator Gcn4p does not interact with Tbp1. However, a corresponding analysis of the series of Tbp1 mutants revealed that Tbp1 is not an essential target of the acidic activators Gal4p and Gcn4p. Furthermore, detailed analysis of a Tbp1 mutant deficient for transcriptional activation by Gal4p revealed that the mutant is defective in interactions with five other proteins involved in the process of transcription.
