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

To clarify the role of a number of mRNA processing factors in transcription elongation, we developed an in vivo assay for direct analysis of elongation on chromatin. The assay relies on two substrates containing two G-less cassettes separated by either a long and GC-rich or a short and GC-poor DNA sequence (G-less-based run-on (GLRO) assay). We demonstrate that PAF, THSC/TREX-2, SAGA, the exosome component Rrp6 and two subunits of cleavage factor IA (Rna14 and Rna15) are required for efficient transcription elongation, in contrast to some results obtained using other assays. Next, we undertook a mutant screen and found out that the Nup84 nucleoporin complex is also required for transcription elongation, as confirmed by the GLRO assay and RNA polymerase II chromatin immunoprecipitations. Therefore, in addition to showing that the GLRO assay is a sensitive and reliable method for the analysis of elongation in vivo, this study provides evidence for a new role of the Nup84 complex and a number of mRNA processing factors in transcription elongation that supports a connection of pre-mRNA processing and nuclear export with transcription elongation.
