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

The yeast SIN4 gene functions in the transcriptional activation and repression of diverse yeast genes. Previous experiments suggest a sin4 mutation affects chromatin structure and thus alters transcriptional regulation. In this report we show that SIN4 is required for full expression of the HIS4, Ty1, and MAT alpha genes, in addition to the previously described SIN4-dependence of CTS1 expression. All of these genes contain within their promoters a binding site for the Rap1p transcriptional regulator. However, SIN4 does not play a direct role either in transcriptional activation or repression by Rap1p. The HIS4 gene can be activated by either of two pathways, the basal or the inducible pathway, and experiments are described that show that a sin4 mutation affects both pathways. It was shown previously that mutation of the Rap1p binding site in the HIS4 promoter causes a similar effect on HIS4 expression and that this promoter mutation also causes a change in chromatin structure. The SNF2/SWI2 gene is also required for full HIS4 expression, and we show that a sin4 snf2 double mutant is not synergistic compared to either single mutant. We show that nucleosomes are positioned at the HIS4 promoter and that this positioning is disrupted in a snf2 mutant but not in a sin4 mutant. These findings suggest that SIN4 plays a distinct role in transcriptional regulation.
