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

Transcription of protein-coding genes is regulated by dynamic association of co-factors with RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). The function of these factors and their relationship with RNAPII is often poorly understood. Here, we present an approach for elongation-factor-specific mNET capture (ELCAP) of RNAPII complexes for sequencing and mass spectrometry analysis aimed at investigating the function of such RNAPII regulatory proteins. As proof of principle, we apply ELCAP to the RNAPII-associated proteins SCAF4 and SCAF8, which share an essential role as mRNA anti-terminators but have individual roles at the 3' end of genes. Mass spectrometry analysis shows that both SCAF4 and SCAF8 are part of RNAPII elongation complexes containing 3' end processing factors but depleted of splicing components. Importantly, the ELCAP sequencing (ELCAP-seq) profiles of SCAF4- and SCAF8-RNAPII complexes nicely reflect their function as mRNA-anti-terminators and their competing functions at the end of genes, where they prevent or promote transcriptional readthrough.
