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 telomeres are transcribed into telomeric repeat-containing RNA (TERRA). Telomeric transcription has been documented in mammals, birds, zebra fish, plants and budding yeast. Here we show that the chromosome ends of Schizosaccharomyces pombe produce distinct RNA species. As with budding yeast and mammals, S. pombe contains G-rich TERRA molecules and subtelomeric RNA species transcribed in the opposite direction of TERRA (ARRET). Moreover, fission yeast chromosome ends produce two novel RNA species: C-rich telomeric repeat-containing transcripts (ARIA) and subtelomeric transcripts complementary to ARRET (αARRET). RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) associates with pombe chromosome ends in vivo and the telomeric factor Rap1 negatively regulates this association, as well as the cellular accumulation of RNA emanating from chromosome ends. We also show that the RNAPII subunit Rpb7 and the non-canonical poly(A) polymerases Cid12 and Cid14 are involved in the regulation of TERRA, ARIA, ARRET and αARRET transcripts. We confirm the evolutionary conservation of telomere transcription, and reveal intriguing similarities and differences in the composition and regulation of telomeric transcripts among model organisms.
