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

Transcription of transfer RNA genes by RNA polymerase III (Pol III) is controlled by general factors, TFIIIB and TFIIIC, and a negative regulator, Maf1. Here we report the interplay between TFIIIC and Maf1 in controlling Pol III activity upon the physiological switch of yeast from fermentation to respiration. TFIIIC directly competes with Pol III for chromatin occupancy as demonstrated by inversely correlated tDNA binding. The association of TFIIIC with tDNA was stronger under unfavorable respiratory conditions and in the presence of Maf1. Induction of tDNA transcription by glucose-activated protein kinase A (PKA) was correlated with the down-regulation of TFIIIC occupancy on tDNA. The conditions that activate the PKA signaling pathway promoted the binding of TFIIIB subunits, Brf1 and Bdp1, with tDNA, but decreased their interaction with TFIIIC. Association of Brf1 and Bdp1 with TFIIIC was much stronger under repressive conditions, potentially restricting TFIIIB recruitment to tDNA and preventing Pol III recruitment. Altogether, we propose a model in which, depending on growth conditions, TFIIIC promotes activation or repression of tDNA transcription.
