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

Human transcription factor hTFIIIB is necessary to initiate transcription correctly from all RNA polymerase III (pol III) genes which are governed by structurally different promoters, and it is unclear whether hTFIIIB complexes, required for intragenic or 5'-located pol III promoters, are composed of unique or different components. We show here that two different forms of hTFIIIB can be separated physically by ion exchange chromatography. hTFIIIB-alpha shows strong preference for transcription of the U6 over the VAI gene and does not contain TATA binding protein (TBP). After SDS-PAGE and renaturation of proteins, the transcriptional activity of hTFIIIB-alpha can be reconstituted by fractions corresponding to a mean M(r) of 25, 60 and 90 kDa. Upon gradient centrifugation or gel filtration, the activity of hTFIIIB-alpha is associated with an M(r) of 60 +/- 10 kDa, indicating that the components of the complex tend to dissociate. In contrast, hTFIIIB-beta is predominantly active on intragenic pol III promoters. It reveals an M(r) of 300 +/- 30 kDa upon gel filtration and, besides TBP, it contains several associated factors (TAFs). Two of these proteins reveal an M(r) of 60 kDa and 90 kDa, and it is conceivable that they are related to polypeptides of similar mass functionally identified in hTFIIIB-alpha. These protein are probably required for the recruitment of pol III to the initiation site at 5'-located and intragenic promoters.
