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

RNA polymerase I (Pol I) transcription in Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires four separate factors that recruit Pol I to the promoter to form a pre-initiation complex. Upstream Activating Factor (UAF) is one of two multi-subunit complexes that regulate pre-initiation complex formation by binding to the ribosomal DNA promoter and by stimulating recruitment of downstream Pol I factors. UAF is composed of Rrn9, Rrn5, Rrn10, Uaf30, and histones H3 and H4. We developed a recombinant Escherichia coli-based system to coexpress and purify transcriptionally active UAF complex and to investigate the importance of each subunit in complex formation. We found that no single subunit is required for UAF assembly, including histones H3 and H4. We also demonstrate that histone H3 is able to interact with each UAF-specific subunit, and show that there are at least two copies of histone H3 and one copy of H4 present in the complex. Together, our results provide a new model suggesting that UAF contains a hybrid H3-H4 tetramer-like subcomplex.
