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

Understanding the regulatory logic of a eukaryotic promoter requires the elucidation of the regulatory elements within that promoter. Current experimental or computational methods to discover regulatory motifs within a promoter can be labor intensive and may miss redundant, unprecedented or weakly activating elements. We have developed an unbiased combinatorial approach to rapidly identify new upstream activating sequences (UASs) in a promoter. This approach couples nonhomologous random recombination with an in vivo screen to efficiently identify UASs and does not rely on preconceived hypotheses about promoter regulation or on similarity to known activating sequences. We validated this method using the unfolded protein response (UPR) in yeast and were able to identify both known and potentially novel UASs involved in the UPR. One of the new UASs discovered using this approach implicates Crz1 as a possible activator of Hac1, a transcription factor involved in the UPR. This method has several advantages over existing methods for UAS discovery including its speed, potential generality, sensitivity and lack of false positives and negatives.
