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

Mammalian cells contain activities that amplify the effects of activators on class II gene transcription in vitro. The molecular identity of several of these cofactor activities is still unknown. Here we identify poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) as one functional component of the positive cofactor 1 activity. PARP enhances transcription by acting during preinitiation complex formation, but at a step after binding of transcription factor IID. This transcriptional activation requires the amino-terminal DNA-binding domain, but not the carboxyl-terminal catalytic region. In purified systems, coactivator function requires a large molar excess of PARP over the number of templates, as reported for other DNA-binding cofactors such as topoisomerase I. PARP effects on supercoiled templates are DNA concentration-dependent and do not depend on damaged DNA. The PARP coactivator function is suppressed by NAD+, probably as a result of auto-ADP-ribosylation. These observations provide another example of the potentiation of trancription by certain DNA-binding cofactors and may point to interactions of PARP with RNA polymerase II-associated factors in special situations.
