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

An efficiently expressed "tagged" gene system was used to study promoter sequence elements in genes encoding the U3 snoRNAs of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Transcription was found dependent on two previously thought, mutually exclusive elements, a TATA-box, as found in other S. pombe snRNA gene promoters, and a Homol D-box, often considered a TATA-box analogue in the promoters of genes that encode ribosomal proteins. The Homol D-box is critical while the TATA-box strongly influences transcription efficiency but is not essential. The results suggest that the U3 snoRNA promoter may represent the fusion of two promoter systems reflecting the special role of this RNA in ribosome biogenesis. Steady state measurements of cellular RNAs support such a coordinated regulation of the U3 snoRNA.
