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

We have used the technique known as selected and amplified binding (SAAB) to isolate binding sites for the yeast transcription factor RAP1 from a degenerate pool of oligonucleotides. A total of 47 sequences were isolated, of which two were shown to be contaminating non-RAP1 binding sites. After excluding these two sequences the remainder of the sequences were used to derive a new consensus binding site for RAP1. The new consensus 5' A/G T A/G C A C C C A N N C C/A C C 3' is a significant extension of the existing consensus (4). It is longer by two base pairs at the 5' end and is significantly more constrained at the 3' end. An analysis of the combinations of mis-matches in individual SAAB sequences, compared to the consensus RAP1 binding site, has allowed us to analyse the structure of the RAP1 binding site in some detail. The binding site can be sub-divided into three regions; a core binding site, a 5' flanking region and a 3' flanking region. The core binding site, consisting of the sequence 5'CACCCA3', is critical for recognition by RAP1. The less conserved flanking regions are not as important. Interactions between RAP1 and these regions probably stabilise the interaction between RAP1 and the core binding site. Each of the sequences isolated in the SAAB analysis was used to search release 78 of the EMBL+GenBank DNA data base. The searches identified 102 potential binding sites for RAP1 within promoters of yeast genes.
