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 DNA-binding protein Rap1p fulfills many different functions in the yeast cell. It targets 5% of the promoters, acting both as a transcriptional activator and as a repressor, depending on the DNA sequence context. In addition, Rap1p is an essential structural component of yeast telomeres, where it contributes to telomeric silencing. Here we review the evidence indicating that Rap1p function is modulated by the precise architecture of the its binding site and its surroundings: long tracts of telomeric repeats for telomeric functions, specific sequences and orientation for maximal transcriptional activation, and specific DNA recognition sequences for complementary factors in other cases. Many of these functions are probably related to chromatin organization around Rap1p DNA binding sites, resulting from the very tight binding of Rap1p to DNA. We propose that Rap1p alters its structure to bind to different versions of its DNA binding sequence. These structural changes may modulate the function of Rap1p domains, providing different interacting surfaces for binding to specific co-operating factors, and thus contributing to the diversity of Rap1p function.
