TFIIS enhancement of Pol II cleavage is under kinetic control.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
The eukaryotic RNA polymerases (Pols) contain subunits or interact with trans-acting factors that confer robust endonuclease activity. A12.2 and C11 are subunits of Pol I and Pol III, respectively. Pol II, however, recruits transcription factor IIS (TFIIS). This evolutionary divergence of A12.2 and C11 being bona fide subunits while TFIIS is a trans-acting factor suggests functional divergence of these domains. To uncover the mechanistic impact of TFIIS on Pol II-catalyzed nucleotide incorporation and endonuclease activity, single turnover in vitro transcription assays were performed with Saccharomyces cerevisiae TFIIS and Pol II. Nucleotide incorporation time courses were collected as a function of both TFIIS and nucleotide concentrations. Global nonlinear least-squares analysis of these time courses revealed that TFIIS binds to elongation complexes after nucleotide incorporation because TFIIS binding is slow relative to correct nucleotide incorporation. However, if subsequent nucleotide incorporation is slow, TFIIS has adequate time to bind and activate Pol II's endonuclease activity. From these findings, we hypothesize that the mechanism of TFIIS-stimulated endonuclease activity is kinetically controlled.
