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

In this report a modification to the in vivo footprinting assay is described. The method includes dimethyl sulfate treatment of whole yeast cells, followed by reiterative primer extension of the methylated genomic DNA using Taq DNA polymerase. Under appropriate reaction conditions chain extension terminates opposite a methylated purine when Taq DNA polymerase encounters a modified adenine or guanine. The procedure was used to examine, in vivo DNA-protein contacts over the upstream activation site (UAS) of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae PYK gene. In vivo analysis, using isogenic strains of yeast and Escherichia coli transformed with plasmid DNAs, confirmed the binding of both the trans-acting factor RAP1 and the transcriptional activator GCR1 to cis-acting recognition sites located within the PYK UAS element.
