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 III (Pol III) promoters, such as 7SK, U6, and H1, are widely used for the expression of small noncoding RNAs, including short hairpin RNAs for RNAi experiments and guide RNAs for CRISPR-mediated genome editing. We previously reported dual RNA polymerase activity (Pol II/III) for the human H1 promoter and demonstrated that this promiscuous RNA polymerase use can be exploited for the simultaneous expression of both a noncoding RNA and an mRNA. However, this combination is not a desired feature in other experimental and therapeutic settings. To overcome this limitation of the H1 promoter, we engineered a miniature H1/7SK hybrid promoter with minimal Pol II activity, thereby boosting Pol III activity to a level that is higher than that of either parental promoter. In parallel, we also engineered small Pol II-specific H1 promoter variants and explored their use as general Pol II promoters for protein expression. The newly engineered promoter variants form an attractive alternative to the commonly used H1 promoter in terms of not only activity and small promoter size but also concerning safety by exclusive expression of the desired therapeutic transcript (either pol II or pol III but not both).
