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

RNA transcription by all the three RNA polymerases (RNAPs) is tightly controlled, and loss of regulation can lead to, for example, cellular transformation and cancer. While most transcription factors act specifically with one polymerase, a small number have been shown to affect more than one polymerase to coordinate overall levels of transcription in cells. Here we show that TLS (translocated in liposarcoma), a protein originally identified as the product of a chromosomal translocation and which associates with both RNAP II and the spliceosome, also represses transcription by RNAP III. TLS was found to repress transcription from all three classes of RNAP III promoters in vitro and to associate with RNAP III genes in vivo, perhaps via a direct interaction with the pan-specific transcription factor TATA-binding protein (TBP). Depletion of TLS by small interfering RNA (siRNA) in HeLa cells resulted in increased steady-state levels of RNAP III transcripts as well as increased RNAP III and TBP occupancy at RNAP III-transcribed genes. Conversely, overexpression of TLS decreased accumulation of RNAP III transcripts. These unexpected findings indicate that TLS regulates both RNAPs II and III and supports the possibility that cross-regulation between RNA polymerases is important in maintaining normal cell growth.
