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

TFIIH is a multisubunit factor essential for transcription initiation and promoter escape of RNA polymerase II and for the opening of damaged DNA double strands in nucleotide excision repair (NER). In this study, we have analyzed at which step of the transcription cycle TFIIH is essential for transcription by RNA polymerase I. We demonstrate that TFIIH associates with the rDNA promoter and gene-internal sequences and leaves the rDNA promoter in a complex with RNA polymerase I after start of transcription. Moreover, mutations in the TFIIH subunits XPB and XPD found in Cockayne syndrome impair the interaction of TFIIH with the rDNA, but do not influence initiation complex formation or promoter escape of RNA polymerase I, but preclude the productivity of the enzyme by reducing transcription elongation in vivo and in vitro. Our results implicate that reduced RNA polymerase I transcription elongation and ribosomal stress could be one factor contributing to the Cockayne syndrome phenotype.
