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 RNA polymerase II C-terminal heptad repeat domain (CTD) is essential for normal transcription and co-transcriptional processing of mRNA precursors. The mammalian CTD comprises 52 heptads whose consensus, YSPTSPS, is conserved throughout eukaryotes, followed by a 10 amino acid C-terminal sequence that is conserved only among vertebrates. Here we show that surprisingly, the heptad repeats are not sufficient to support efficient transcription, pre-mRNA processing or full cell viability. In addition to the heptads, the 10 amino acid C-terminal motif is essential for high level transcription, splicing and poly(A) site cleavage. Efficient mRNA synthesis from a transiently transfected reporter gene required the C-terminal motif plus between 16 and 25 heptad repeats from either the N- or C-terminal half of the CTD. Twenty-seven consensus heptads plus the C-terminal motif also supported efficient mRNA synthesis but not cell viability.
