The telomere binding protein of Euplotes crassus prevents non-specific transcription initiation but has no role in positioning transcription initiation complexes.
Article in Nucleic acids research, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Model substrates mimicking the telomeric as well as the 5'-untranslated regions in front of a 5'-terminal part of a macronuclear gene of Euplotes crassus were transcribed in vitro using cellular extracts. The obtained transcripts were characterized by primer extension and shown to start at the natural initiation points. The situation changed in the absence of telomere binding protein or with substrates lacking functional telomeric sequences. In these cases non-specific transcription was observed. Since it had been previously found that transcription starts are frequently located at an apparently fixed distance from the telomere, a model substrate was constructed which carried a duplication of the non-transcribed region. This resulted in only one transcription start site, the position of which was conserved relative to the start of the open reading frame but moved away from the telomere by the distance of the duplication.
