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 investigated whether the multisubunit holoenzyme complex of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) and mediator is universally required for transcription in budding yeast. DeltaCTD Pol II lacking the carboxy-terminal domain of the large subunit cannot assemble with mediator but can still transcribe the CUP1 gene. CUP1 transcripts made by DeltaCTD Pol II initiated correctly and some extended past the normal poly(A) site yielding a novel dicistronic mRNA. Most CUP1 transcripts made by DeltaCTD Pol II were degraded but could be stabilized by deletion of the XRN1 gene. Unlike other genes, transcription of CUP1 and HSP82 also persisted after inactivation of the CTD kinase Kin28 or the mediator subunit Srb4. The upstream-activating sequence (UAS) of the CUP1 promoter was sufficient to drive Cu2+ inducible transcription without Srb4 and heat shock inducible transcription without the CTD. We conclude that the Pol II holoenzyme is not essential for all UAS-dependent activated transcription in yeast.
