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

Promoter melting by bacterial RNA polymerase is a key step in transcription initiation. We used a next generation sequencing (NGS) based approach to analyze in parallel promoter melting of all 4096 sequence variants of the 6 bp -10 promoter element. We used NGS read count for each sequence of a promoter library containing a randomized -10 sequence as an observable to determine relative enrichment of -10 element sequence variants at different time points of the promoter melting reaction. The analysis reinforced the dominating role of consensus bases at positions -11 and -7, demonstrated an enhanced preference for A at -11 among sequences exhibiting the fastest melting kinetics, and showed higher overall importance of the T at -7 compared to the A at -11 for efficient promoter melting. Sequences lacking the consensus bases at -7 or -11 could still melt fast if they contained compensatory base patterns at other positions. We observed a significant correlation between the duplex melting energy of -10 element and the kinetics of promoter melting that became more pronounced when the dominating base-specific interactions with RNAP were diminished. These observations indicate that promoter melting kinetics is determined by a combination of base-specific effects/interactions and sequence-dependent stability of DNA duplex with the former playing a dominating role. Our data show that NGS can provide a reliable, quantitative readout for a highly parallel analysis of DNA template sequence dependence of activities of proteins that bind or operate on a DNA template.
