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 GCN4 3' element represents a class of polyadenylation sites which function unidirectionally and efficiently in test systems in vivo as well as in vitro. A complex signal element is required for polyadenylation activity with a minimal size of 116 nucleotides for the functional element. We subdivided this element into five regions (EL1 to EL5) of 16 to 26 nucleotides each. Each region was characterized by deletion analysis in an in vivo test system. Two TTTTTAT motifs are located in different regions (EL1 and EL4) upstream of the poly(A) site. The 3' end processing activity was significantly reduced when both motifs were mutated by site-directed mutagenesis and abolished when EL1 and EL4 were deleted. The major poly(A) site is located in EL5, 3 nucleotides downstream of the second TTTTTAT motif. Additional minor poly(A) sites are used in less than 10% of the mRNA 3' ends. Deletion of EL3 resulted in a changed pattern of mRNA 3' ends by increased usage of the minor poly(A) addition sites. The major poly(A) site in EL5 can be removed without loss of function when sequences upstream of EL1 are present. The tripartite TAG...TATGT...TTT sequence located downstream of EL5 is not required for function.
