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

Single strands of DNA serve, in rare instances, as promoters for transcription; duplex DNA promoters with individual strands that also have a promoter capacityfunction have not been described. We show that the nontranscribed strand of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae U6 snRNA gene directs transcription initiation factor IIIB-requiring and accurately initiating transcription by RNA polymerase III. The nontranscribed strand promoter is much more extended than its duplex DNA counterpart, comprising the U6 gene TATA box, a downstream T(7) tract, and an upstream-lying segment. A requirement for placement of the 3' end of the transcribed (template) strand within the confines of the transcription bubble is seen as indicating that the nontranscribed strand provides a scaffold for RNA polymerase recruitment but is deficient at a subsequent step of transcription initiation factor IIIB's direct involvement in promoter opening.
