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

We analyzed three human genes that were >200 kbp in length as they are switched on rapidly and synchronously by tumor necrosis factor alpha and obtained new insights into the transcription cycle that are difficult to obtain using continuously active, short, genes. First, a preexisting "whole-gene" loop in one gene disappears on stimulation; it is stabilized by CCCTC-binding factor and TFIIB and poises the gene for a prompt response. Second, "subgene" loops (detected using chromosome conformation capture) develop and enlarge, a result that is simply explained if elongating polymerases become immobilized in transcription factories, where they reel in their templates. Third, high-resolution localization confirms that relevant nascent transcripts (detected using RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization) lie close enough to be present on the surface of one factory. These dynamics underscore the complex transitions between the poised, initiating, and elongating transcriptional states.
