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

Extensive mutagenesis via massive recoding of retrotransposon Ty1 produced a synthetic codon-optimized retrotransposon (CO-Ty1). CO-Ty1 is defective for retrotransposition, suggesting a sequence capable of down-regulating retrotransposition. We mapped this sequence to a critical ~20-bp region within CO-Ty1 reverse transcriptase (RT) and confirmed that it reduced Ty1 transposition, protein, and RNA levels. Repression was not Ty1 specific; when introduced immediately downstream of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) stop codon, GFP expression was similarly reduced. Rap1p mediated this down-regulation, as shown by mutagenesis and chromatin immunoprecipitation. A regular threefold drop is observed in different contexts, suggesting utility for synthetic circuits. A large reduction of RNAP II occupancy on the CO-Ty1 construct was observed 3' to the identified Rap1p site and a novel 3' truncated RNA species was observed. We propose a novel mechanism of transcriptional regulation by Rap1p whereby it serves as a transcriptional roadblock when bound to transcription unit sequences.
