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

Genes transcribed by the RNA polymerase (Pol) III of yeast are mostly found at sites of high transcription, genomic fragility, and replication fork stalling. Transcription terminator-dependent facilitated recycling of Pol III on naked DNA templates boosts transcription in vitro; its operability in vivo is not known. Recycling on the same template links transcriptional output directly to the reinitiation frequency. Using recycling-deficient Pol III or terminator-deficient templates, we found that terminator is essential to couple the facilitated Pol III recycling and chromatin remodeling for achieving high transcriptional activation. Mechanism of the full activation process constitutes three linked steps, antirepression, chromatin remodeling, and Pol III recycling. Normally high transcriptional demands are met by the terminator-facilitated Pol III recycling on genes, while different recycling frequencies result in different Pol III occupancies and gene-specific transcript yields. Abnormal increase in recycling frequency may cause the genomic sites fragility in normal cells or highly elevated Pol III transcription in cancerous cells or other related disorders.
