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

The central role of RNA polymerase (RNAP) is to catalyze the processive synthesis of a growing RNA transcript. Recent structural and biophysical data have led to a deeper understanding of the nucleotide addition cycle and insight into the structure-function relationships that govern transcription elongation. In this review, we discuss kinetic data on nucleotide incorporation in the context of crystal structures, which show RNAP in multiple conformations. We present a facilitated Brownian ratchet model of nucleotide incorporation, in which templated NTP binding to a non-catalytic site in the main channel promotes the conformational changes that lead to opening of the catalytic site and translocation.
