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

We have determined the extent of the primary transcription unit for the two highly expressed genes nmt1 and nmt2 of Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Transcription run-on analysis in permeabilized yeast cells was employed to map polymerase density across the 3'-flanking region of these two genes. Surprisingly, polymerases were detected 4.3 kb beyond the nmt1 polyadenylation [poly(A)] site and 2.4 kb beyond the nmt2 poly(A) site, which in each case have transcribed through an entire convergent downstream transcription unit. However, the steady-state levels of both downstream genes were unaffected by the high level of nmt1 or nmt2 nascent transcription. Analysis of nmt1 and nmt2 RNA 3' end formation signals indicates that efficient termination of transcription requires not only a poly(A) signal but also additional pause elements. The absence of such pause elements close to the poly(A) sites of these genes may account for their extended nascent transcripts.
