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

In the archaeal RNA polymerase and the eukaryotic RNA polymerase II, two subunits (E/F and RPB4/RPB7, respectively) form a heterodimer that reversibly associates with the core of the enzyme. Recently it has emerged that this heterodimer also has a counterpart in the other eukaryotic RNA polymerases: in particular two subunits of RNA polymerase I (A14 and A43) display genetic and biochemical characteristics that are similar to those of the RPB4 and RPB7 subunits, despite the fact that only A43 shows some sequence homology to RPB7. We demonstrate that the sequence of A14 strongly suggests the presence of a HRDC domain, a motif that is found at the C-terminus of a number of helicases and RNases. The same motif is also seen in the structure of the F subunit, suggesting a structural link between A14 and the RPB4/C17/subunit F family, even in the absence of direct sequence homology. We show that it is possible to co-express and co-purify large amounts of the recombinant A14/A43 heterodimer, indicating a tight and specific interaction between the two subunits. To shed light on the function of the heterodimer, we performed gel mobility shift assays and showed that the A14/A43 heterodimer binds single-stranded RNA in a similar way to the archaeal E/F complex.
