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 general transcription factor P-TEFb, a master regulator of RNA polymerase (Pol) II elongation, phosphorylates the C-terminal domain (CTD) of Pol II and negative elongation factors to release Pol II from promoter-proximal pausing. We show here that P-TEFb surprisingly inhibits the myoblast differentiation into myotubes, and that P-TEFb and its two positive complexes are eliminated in this process. In contrast, DYRK1A, another CTD kinase known to control transcription of a subset of genes important for development and tissue homeostasis, is found to activate transcription of key myogenic genes. We show that active DYRK1A exists in a complex with the WD40-repeat protein DCAF7 that stabilizes and tethers DYRK1A to Pol II, so that DYRK1A-DCAF7 can co-migrate with and phosphorylate Pol II along the myogenic gene loci. Thus, DCAF7 modulates the kinase signaling output of DYRK1A on Pol II to stimulate myogenic transcription after active P-TEFb function is shut off.
