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

Schizosaccharomyces pombe rRNA genes contain three replication fork barriers (RFB1-3) located in the nontranscribed spacer. RFB2 and RFB3 require binding of the transcription terminator factor Reb1p to two identical recognition sequences that colocalize with these barriers. RFB1, which is the strongest of the three barriers, functions in a Reb1p-independent manner, and cognate DNA-binding proteins for this barrier have not been identified yet. Here we functionally define RFB1 within a 78-bp sequence located near the 3' end of the rRNA coding region. A protein that specifically binds to this sequence was purified by affinity chromatography and identified as Sap1p by mass spectrometry. Specific binding to RFB1 was confirmed by using Sap1p expressed in Escherichia coli. Sap1p is essential for viability and is required for efficient mating-type switching. Mutations in RFB1 that precluded formation of the Sap1p-RFB1 complex systematically abolished replication barrier function, indicating that Sap1p is required for replication fork blockage at RFB1.
