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 upstream activation site (UAS) of the yeast phosphoglycerate kinase gene (PGK) has been localised by deletion analysis (1). Here we show that the UASPGK contains two functionally distinct domains. These two domains, designated activator (A) and modulator (M), appear to be located within bases -460 to -402 and -531 to -461, respectively, relative to the initiating ATG; although it is possible that part of the M domain resides within the A domain. They have been shown, using a heterologous assay promoter, to have distinct transcriptional functions. Domain A is responsible for activation of transcription whilst domain M is required for carbon source dependent regulation of transcription. Protein-DNA binding studies have demonstrated that the DNA fragment containing domain M has high affinity for at least one specific DNA-binding protein, whilst domain A does not appear to interact strongly in protein-binding assays under the same conditions. The domain M binding activity is dependent on the carbon source in the growth medium and may be functional in the carbon source control of PGK expression.
