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 used a kinetic analysis to distinguish possible mechanisms of activation of transcription of the different genes in the human beta globin locus. Based on in situ studies at the single-cell level we have previously suggested a dynamic mechanism of single genes alternately interacting with the locus control region (LCR) to activate transcription. However, those steady-state experiments did not allow a direct measurement of the dynamics of the mechanism and the presence of loci with in situ primary transcript signals from two beta-like genes in cis has left open the possibility that multiple genes in the locus could initiate transcription simultaneously. Kinetic assays involving removal of a block to transcription elongation in conjunction with RNA FISH show that multiple beta gene primary transcript signals in cis represent a transition between alternating transcriptional periods of single genes, supporting a dynamic interaction mechanism.
