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

During the past few decades, a wealth of knowledge has been made available for the transcription machinery in bacteria from the structural, functional and mechanistic point of view. However, comparatively little is known about the homooligomerization of the multisubunit M. tuberculosis RNA polymerase (RNAP) enzyme and its functional relevance. While E. coli RNAP has been extensively studied, many aspects of RNAP of the deadly pathogenic M. tuberculosis are still unclear. We used biophysical and biochemical methods to study the oligomerization states of the core and holoenzymes of M. tuberculosis RNAP. By size exclusion chromatography and negative staining Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) studies and quantitative analysis of the TEM images, we demonstrate that the in vivo reconstituted RNAP core enzyme (α2ββ'ω) can also exist as dimers in vitro. Using similar methods, we also show that the holoenzyme (core + σ
