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 evolutionarily conserved multifunctional polymerase-associated factor 1 (Paf1) complex (Paf1C), which is composed of at least five subunits (Paf1, Leo1, Ctr9, Cdc73, and Rtf1), plays vital roles in gene regulation and has connections to development and human diseases. Here, we report two structures of each of the human and yeast Ctr9/Paf1 subcomplexes, which assemble into heterodimers with very similar conformations, revealing an interface between the tetratricopeptide repeat module in Ctr9 and Paf1. The structure of the Ctr9/Paf1 subcomplex may provide mechanistic explanations for disease-associated mutations in human PAF1 and CTR9. Our study reveals that the formation of the Ctr9/Paf1 heterodimer is required for the assembly of yeast Paf1C, and is essential for yeast viability. In addition, disruption of the interaction between Paf1 and Ctr9 greatly affects the level of histone H3 methylation in vivo. Collectively, our results shed light on Paf1C assembly and functional regulation.
