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

In vitro transcription was used to analyze the promoter specificity of the alpha-amanitin-resistant RNA polymerase that is induced late during infection of Autographa californica multicapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus. By modifying the preparation of crude nuclear extracts, we have established an assay that permits differentiation between weak late and strong very late viral promoters. The virus-induced RNA polymerase initiates at a TAAG sequence motif in both late and very late promoters. Based on the sensitivity of our in vitro transcription system, we have investigated the sequences responsible for a functional TAAG motif and their putative role with respect to the strength of very late promoters. By constructing hybrid promoters between the early pe38 and the very late polyhedrin promoters, we demonstrated that the replacement of 7 nucleotides upstream of the nonfunctional TAAG sequences in the pe38 promoter with the corresponding sequences of the polyhedrin promoter was sufficient for recognition by the virus-induced RNA polymerase. The strength of the very late polyhedrin promoter was established after replacing the 5' untranslated sequences of the pe38 promoter by those of the polyhedrin promoter in addition to the 7 nucleotides upstream of the TAAG motif.
