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 fused representatives of three structurally and functionally distinct classes of mammalian transcription activation domains for RNA polymerase II to the yeast GAL4 DNA binding domain. All fusion proteins were stable when expressed in yeast and were tested for their ability to activate transcription from various positions in the yeast GAL1 promoter. Activation domains functional from remote as well as TATA-proximal positions in mammalian cells, e.g. the acidic-type domain of VP16, also stimulate transcription in yeast from various promoter positions. Proline-rich domains, as e.g. in AP-2 and CTF/NF1, with considerable promoter activity and low enhancer activity in mammalian cells stimulate transcription in yeast only from a position close to the TATA box. The glutamine-rich domains of Oct1, Oct2 and Sp1, which activate transcription in mammalian cells from close to the TATA box in response to a remote enhancer, are inactive in the yeast GAL1 promoter. This finding might reflect some basic difference between the organization of yeast and mammalian promoters.
