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

Eukaryotic RNA polymerase III (Pol III) relies on a transcription factor TFIIF-like Rpc37/53 subcomplex for promoter opening, elongation, termination, and reinitiation. By incorporating the photoreactive amino acid p-benzoyl-L-phenylalanine (BPA) into Rpc37, Rpc53, and the Rpc2 subunit of Pol III, we mapped protein-protein interactions, revealing the position of Rpc37/53 within the Pol III preinitiation complex (PIC). BPA photo-cross-linking was combined with site-directed hydroxyl radical probing to localize the Rpc37/53 dimerization module on the lobe/external 2 domains of Rpc2, in similarity to the binding of TFIIF on Pol II. N terminal to the dimerization domain, Rpc53 binds the Pol III-specific subunits Rpc82 and Rpc34, the Pol III stalk, and the assembly factor TFIIIC, essential for PIC formation. The C-terminal domain of Rpc37 interacts extensively with Rpc2 and Rpc34 and contains binding sites for initiation factor Bdp1. We also located the C-terminal domain of Rpc37 within the Pol III active center in the ternary elongation complex, where it likely functions in accurate termination. Our work explains how the Rpc37/53 dimer is anchored on the Pol III core and acts as a hub to integrate a protein network for initiation and termination.
