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) synthesizes ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in all eukaryotes, accounting for the major part of transcriptional activity in proliferating cells. Although basal Pol I transcription factors have been characterized in diverse organisms, the molecular basis of the robust rRNA production in vivo remains largely unknown. In S. cerevisiae, the multifunctional Net1 protein was reported to stimulate Pol I transcription. We found that the Pol I-stimulating function can be attributed to the very C-terminal region (CTR) of Net1. The CTR was required for normal cell growth and Pol I recruitment to rRNA genes in vivo and sufficient to promote Pol I transcription in vitro. Similarity with the acidic tail region of mammalian Pol I transcription factor UBF, which could partly functionally substitute for the CTR, suggests conserved roles for CTR-like domains in Pol I transcription from yeast to human.
