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 archaeal RNA polymerase (RNAP) is a double-psi β-barrel enzyme closely related to eukaryotic RNAPII in terms of subunit composition and architecture, promoter elements and basal transcription factors required for the initiation and elongation phase of transcription. Understanding archaeal transcription is, therefore, key to delineate the universally conserved fundamental mechanisms of transcription as well as the evolution of the archaeo-eukaryotic transcription machineries. The dynamic interplay between RNAP subunits, transcription factors and nucleic acids dictates the activity of RNAP and ultimately gene expression. This review focusses on recent progress in our understanding of (i) the structure, function and molecular mechanisms of known and less characterized factors including Elf1 (Elongation factor 1), NusA (N-utilization substance A), TFS4, RIP and Eta, and (ii) their evolution and phylogenetic distribution across the expanding tree of Archaea.
