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

TFIID binds promoter DNA to recruit RNA polymerase II and other basal factors for transcription. Although the TATA-binding protein (TBP) subunit of TFIID is necessary and sufficient for in vitro transcription, the TBP-associated factor (TAF) subunits recognize downstream promoter elements, act as coactivators, and interact with nucleosomes. In yeast nuclear extracts, transcription induces stable TAF binding to downstream promoter DNA, promoting subsequent activator-independent transcription reinitiation. In vivo, promoter responses to TAF mutations correlate with the level of downstream, rather than overall, Taf1 cross-linking. We propose a new model in which TAFs function as reinitiation factors, accounting for the differential responses of promoters to various transcription factor mutations.
