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 meiosis-specific gene HOP1, which encodes a component of the synaptonemal complex, is controlled through two regulatory elements, UASH and URS1H. Sites similar to URS1H have been identified in the promoter region of virtually every early meiosis-specific gene, as well as in many promoters of nonmeiotic genes, and it has been shown that the proteins that bind to this site function to regulate meiotic and nonmeiotic transcription. Sites similar to the UASH site have been found in a number of meiotic and nonmeiotic genes as well. Since it has been shown that UASH functions as an activator site in vegetative haploid cells, it seemed likely that the factors binding to this site regulate both meiotic and nonmeiotic transcription. We purified the factor binding to the UASH element of the HOP1 promoter. Sequence analysis identified the protein as Abf1 (autonomously replicating sequence-binding factor 1), a multifunctional protein involved in DNA replication, silencing, and transcriptional regulation. We show by mutational analysis of the UASH site, that positions outside of the proposed UASH consensus sequence (TNTGN[A/T]GT) are required for DNA binding in vitro and transcriptional activation in vivo. A new UASH consensus sequence derived from this mutational analysis closely matches a consensus Abf1 binding site. We also show that an Abf1 site from a nonmeiotic gene can replace the function of the UASH site in the HOP1 promoter. Taken together, these results show that Abf1 functions to regulate meiotic gene expression.
