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 Paf1 complex (Paf1C) affects RNA polymerase II transcription by coordinating co-transcriptional chromatin modifications and helping recruit mRNA 3' end processing factors. Paf1C cross-links to transcribed genes, but not downstream of the cleavage and polyadenylation site, suggesting that it may interact with the nascent mRNA. Paf1C purified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae binds RNA in vitro, as do the purified Leo1 and Rtf1 subunits of the complex. In vivo cross-linking and immunoprecipitation of RNA associated with Paf1C (RNA-IP) show that Leo1, but not Rtf1, is necessary for the complex to bind RNA. Cells lacking Leo1 have reduced Paf1C recruitment as well as decreased levels of histone H3 and trimethylated H3 Lys(4) within transcribed chromatin. Together, these results suggest that association of Paf1C with RNA stabilizes its localization at actively transcribed regions where it influences chromatin structure.
