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

The transcription co-activator complex SAGA is recruited to gene promoters by sequence-specific transcriptional activators and by chromatin modifications to promote pre-initiation complex formation. The yeast Tra1 subunit is the major target of acidic activators such as Gal4, VP16, or Gcn4 but little is known about its structural organization. The 430 kDa Tra1 subunit and its human homolog the transformation/transcription domain-associated protein TRRAP are members of the phosphatidyl 3-kinase-related kinase (PIKK) family. Here, we present the cryo-EM structure of the entire SAGA complex where the major target of activator binding, the 430 kDa Tra1 protein, is resolved with an average resolution of 5.7 Å. The high content of alpha-helices in Tra1 enabled tracing of the majority of its main chain. Our results highlight the integration of Tra1 within the major epigenetic regulator SAGA.
