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

Proper 3' end formation is critical for the production of functional mRNAs. Termination by RNA polymerase II is linked to mRNA cleavage and polyadenylation, but it is less clear whether earlier stages of mRNA production also contribute to transcription termination. We performed a genetic screen to identify mutations that decreased transcriptional readthrough of a defective GAL10 poly(A) terminator. A partial deletion of the GAL10 downstream region leads to transcription through the downstream GAL7 promoter, resulting in the inability of cells to grow on galactose. Mutations in elongation factors Spt4 and Spt6 suppress the readthrough phenotype, presumably by decreasing the amount of polymerase transcribing through the downstream GAL7 promoter. Interestingly, mutations in the mRNA-binding protein Npl3 improve transcription termination. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments suggest that Npl3 can antagonize 3' end formation by competing for RNA binding with polyadenylation/termination factors. These results suggest that elongation rate and mRNA packaging can influence polyadenylation and termination.
