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

We used bacteriophage T7-encoded transcription inhibitor gene protein 2 (gp2) as a probe to study the contribution of the Escherichia coli RNA polymerase (RNAP) beta' subunit jaw domain--the site of gp2 binding--to activator and ATP hydrolysis-dependent open complex formation by the sigma(54)-RNAP. We show that, unlike sigma(70)-dependent transcription, activated transcription by sigma(54)-RNAP is resistant to gp2. In contrast, activator and ATP hydrolysis-independent transcription by sigma(54)-RNAP is highly sensitive to gp2. We provide evidence that an activator- and ATP hydrolysis-dependent conformational change involving the beta' jaw domain and promoter DNA is the basis for gp2-resistant transcription by sigma(54)-RNAP. Our results establish that accessory factors bound to the upstream face of the RNAP, communicate with the beta' jaw domain, and that such communication is subjected to regulation.
