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

Extrinsic transcription termination typically involves remodeling of RNA polymerase by an accessory helicase. In yeast this is accomplished by the Sen1 helicase homologous to human senataxin (SETX). To gain insight into these processes we develop a DNA scaffold construct compatible with magnetic-trapping assays and from which S. cerevisiae RNA polymerase II (Pol II), as well as E. coli RNA polymerase (ecRNAP), can efficiently initiate transcription without transcription factors, elongate, and undergo extrinsic termination. By stalling Pol II TECs on the construct we can monitor Sen1-induced termination in real-time, revealing the formation of an intermediate in which the Pol II transcription bubble appears half-rewound. This intermediate requires ~40 sec to form and lasts ~20 sec prior to final dissociation of the stalled Pol II. The experiments enabled by the scaffold construct permit detailed statistical and kinetic analysis of Pol II interactions with a range of cofactors in a multi-round, high-throughput fashion.
