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

Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) converts cytosines to uracils within the actively transcribed switch regions to initiate DNA repair and formation of DNA double strand breaks required for immunoglobulin class switch recombination (CSR). How AID specifically targets switch regions remains a key unanswered question. Using a multimodal live cell single molecule imaging approach, we demonstrate that intronic switch regions promote robust transcription by enhancing polymerase loading and persistent transcriptional bursts, resulting in the formation of a dynamic RNA hub consisting of numerous nascent switch transcripts simultaneously tethered to the
