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

Mouse F9 embryonic carcinoma (EC) cells differentiate in culture to parietal endoderm (PE) cells upon induction with retinoic acid and cyclic AMP. In the course of this process, the expression of polymerase III transcripts, e.g., 5S rRNA and U6 small nuclear RNA, is dramatically reduced. This reduction of endogenous RNA content is accompanied by a loss of transcriptional capacity in cell extracts from PE cells. Partial purification of such extracts reveals that the DNA-binding activity of transcription factor PBP, binding specifically to the proximal sequence element (PSE) sequence of vertebrate U6 genes, is significantly reduced. This finding is corroborated by a loss in the transcriptional activity of this factor in reconstitution assays with partially purified polymerase III transcription components. In contrast, the activity of TFIIIA and TFIIIB and the amount of free TATA-binding protein remain unchanged during the differentiation process analyzed here. These data show for the first time that the PSE-binding protein PBP is essentially involved in the differential regulation of polymerase III genes governed by external promoters.
