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

Despite its centrality in regulating RNA polymerase II transcription in all eukaryotes, the TFIID general transcription factor exhibits several layers of variability across different tissues and developmental stages, representing an underexplored hub of evolutionary innovation. Here, we describe a novel short isoform of TAF8 (TAF8s) - a TFIID scaffold subunit - which evolved from the use of an intronic polyadenylation site (iPAS) in the human lineage. Comparative genomics analyses show that the emergence of
