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 already complex process of transcription by RNA polymerase II has become even more complicated in the last few years with the identification of auxiliary factors in addition to the essential general initiation factors. In many cases these factors, which have been termed mediators or co-activators, are only required for activated or repressed transcription. In some cases the effects are specific for certain activators and repressors. Recently some of these auxiliary factors have been found in large complexes with either TBP, as TBP-associated factors (TAFs) in the general factor TFIID, or with pol II and a subset of the general factors, referred to as the 'holoenzyme'. Although the exact composition of these huge assemblies is still a matter of some debate, it is becoming clear that the complexes themselves come in more than one form. In particular, at least four forms of TFIID have been described, including one that contains a tissue-specific TAF and another with a cell type-specific form of TBP. In addition, in yeast there are at least two forms of the 'holoenzyme' distinguished by their mediator composition and by the spectrum of transcripts whose expression they affect. Genetic and biochemical analyses have begun to identify the interactions between the components of these complexes and the ever increasing family of DNA binding regulatory factors. These studies are complicated by the fact that individual regulatory factors often appear to have redundant interactions with multiple mediators. The existence of these different forms of transcription complexes defines a new target for regulation of subsets of eukaryotic genes.
