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

When inserted at novel locations in the yeast genome, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae recombination hotspot HOT1 stimulates mitotic exchange in adjacent sequences. HOT1 is derived from the rDNA repeat unit, and the sequences required for the recombination-stimulatory activity closely correspond to the rDNA transcription enhancer and initiation site, suggesting there is an association between high levels of RNA polymerase I transcription and increased recombination. To directly test whether RNA polymerase I is essential for HOT1 activity, a subunit of RNA polymerase I was deleted in a strain in which rRNA is transcribed by RNA polymerase II. HOT1 is completely inactive in this strain. Deletion analysis and site-directed mutagenesis were used to further define the sequences within the rDNA enhancer required for HOT1 activity. These studies show that the enhancer contains at least four distinct regions that are required for hotspot activity. In most cases mutations in these regions also decrease transcription from this element, further confirming the association of recombination and transcription.
